The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham 1861 and as the name suggests, manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto powered two wheelers 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. The Super Rocket was a 646cc air-cooled parallel twin introduced in 1957 and marketed as the more sporty member of the BSA A10 family continuing on from the Road Rocket before ultimately becoming the legendary Rocket Gold Star in the early 1960s.
This A10 Super Rocket, being offered at no reserve, is presented in barn find condition after having been stood for a number of years. Owned by the enthusiast vendor since 1978, it is covered in a layer of dust and oil and has not run for a while so will need a good recommissioning before use, however the engine turns over on the kickstarter An interesting project to recommission as is or form the basis of a one off special supplied with a current V5C.
* Please note :- The frame number is not clearly visible but appears to be CA7 3799 (see photos) not FA 1676 as shown on the V5. The Engine number of DA10-R528 HC suggests it is from a 1961 A10R Super Rocket.
