1932 BSA 349cc L32-2/ Blue Star Special (see text)
Auction Estimate:£4, 000 - £6, 000
1932 BSA 349cc L32-2/ Blue Star Special (see text)
Registration no. JF 3591
Frame no. Z3. 616
Engine no. Z11. 1153 (see text)
This sporty lightweight BSA special left the factory as a model L32-2 weighing just 224lbs. A photo of the bike in 1992 when acquired by the previous owner shows that the ohv engine had already replaced the original side valve unit by that time. The combination of light cycle parts and a pokey engine make the bike both quick and agile. The crankcases and high compression piston are top of the range Blue Star items, we are told that the flywheels and cams are also Blue Star, the ohv head has a single port. Throughout the vendor's twenty year ownership the BSA has been meticulously maintained: in 2004 a hairline crack in the left hand crankcase was welded up, and has been secure ever since, the brakes have been re-lined, clutch plates replaced, chains are reported as excellent, but the battery may need replacing. It was last ridden earlier this year. It is accompanied by a V5C, continuation buff log book, a large selection of spares (please refer to website photos) including the original crankcases, invoices dating back to 1992, restoration photos, an original instruction book, copy parts book, MoTs and a selection of tax discs going back to 1937. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding.
