The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. 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.
This c. 1956 500cc ‘Street Scrambler’ appears to be in tidy condition and to have been started recently, although the vendor advises the usual checks be completed before use. An intriguing and good looking machine built in the style of a ‘Street Scrambler,’ using a B33 frame and B33 motor with an attractive aluminium fuel tank. The vendor believes the machine was previously imported from South Africa and has been told that it had a ‘bit of a competition history.’ The accompanying history file includes a V5C registration document, Dating Certificate and c. 2004 Nova import paperwork.
