Documentation
V5C shows date of first registration as 1. 04. 1931, however I have BSA works records, supplied by the VMCC, showing frame and engine manufactured in 1930. An email exchange with VMCC confirms that this bike is eligible for the Banbury run. The bike appears to have been exported and then repatriated in 1963, hence the “A” number plate.
