This car is to be auctioned at The Autumn Stafford Sale - The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show
A new 650cc twin joined BSA's 500cc A7 model in 1949, the latter's engine being revised along the lines of the new design at the same time. The existing parallel twin architecture was retained for the new A10, with 360-degree crankshaft and single camshaft at the rear of the cylinder block, as was the four-speed gearbox bolted directly to the crankcase in a form of semi-unit construction, and the tele-fork-and-plunger cycle parts. Named 'Golden Flash', the new 650 was strikingly finished in pale beige metallic. The model was up-dated with swinging-arm frame and separate gearbox for 1955 and continued in production until 1962. Restored by the late vendor during 2018/ 2019, this example is fitted with a Golden Flash frame from 1961 and a Super Rocket engine from 1960. It should be noted the frame number has been restamped. Having been sat for some time since the late vendors passing, it will need recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road. Accomppanying documentation includes a V5C, BSA dating letter, invoices and BSA Twin restoration book by Roy Bacon.
