This motorcycle is to be auctioned at The Autumn Stafford Sale - The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show
Introduced in 1910, the first series-production BSA to feature the marques distinctive green and cream tank colours was a 499cc (3hp) sidevalve single. Well engineered and equally well made, this first BSA proved an enormous success and effectively established the companys reputation as a maker of high quality motorcycles. Introduced for the 1927 season, the influential Sloper started a trend which saw many of BSAs competitors adopt inclined motors. The Sloper featured a trend-setting saddle tank that afforded a low seating position, and for 1930 gained chromium-plated brightwork and a new frame with forged steel spine. Models with the 493cc overhead-valve engine came with twin-port cylinder heads. For 1930 the Birmingham firm offered no fewer than 18 models, six of which had inclined engines. The Sloper range remained essentially vintage in character until its demise in 1935, by which time the line-up had shrunk to just two models: one overhead-valve, the other sidevalve, both of 595cc. This splendid overhead-valve Sloper (an 'all footbrake' model) is attached to a Noxal single-seater sports sidecar. Acquired by Tony East in March 1994, this fully restored combination comes with sundry invoices totalling 4, 688 relating to its restoration by Bryan Small Motorcycles circa 1995. The machine was last taxed in July 2002. Additional documentation consists of SORN paperwork; five old MoTs (most recent expired 2001); 1937 Noxal sidecars brochure; old/ current V5C Registration Certificates; and an original parts catalogue.
