BSA's late-1920s OHV 500 Sports model
An authentically restored Banbury-eligible bike

The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weaponry. Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. During the 1920s BSA proudly boasted ‘one in four motorcycles is a BSA’ and that their bikes were ‘the most popular motorcycles in the world.’ Marketed by BSA as a bike that would 'appeal to the sporting rider', it was based on the bikes that had won the team prize in the previous year's ISDT without losing a mark.
This beautifully presented girder fork, hand-change BSA OHV 500cc Sloper, being offered at 'no reserve', has been part of an enthusiast's private collection of classics for the last few years. A good looking machine with its traditional BSA Green petrol tank and chrome fish-tail silencer, it has not been run for a while, however, the engine turns over with compression. Almost 100 years old and Banbury eligible, once recommissioned it would make an interesting mount for use on Vintage runs and rallies. It is being offered with some old MOTs and a current V5C.
