Lot 34
A 1953 BSA A10 Golden Flash, registration number MBT 639, frame number BA7510504, gold/ red. This A10 was originally fitted with a side-car and is registered to its first owner, a Mr Charles Loft from Bempton, Bridlington, Yorkshire. He would retain the BSA until 1967 when it was passed into the ownership of Mr John Polley also from Bempton. The next change of ownership took place in 1971 when it was sold to a Mr Stanley Coultas of Flambrough, who retained the BSA for two years until passing it on to Mr Peter Benson, who only retained the motorcycle for one year before John Robson purchased and retained it for the next 39 years before selling it to his brother in 2013. It would remain with him until 2017 when our vendor added it to his collection. The BSA retains its original registration number (non-transferable) and has been fitted with a factory replacement engine at some point possibly in its earlier life (ERS1541). Other departures from standard are an electronic ignition and stainless steel wheels with stainless steel spokes. The BSA will be offered for auction with the original RF60, an MOT dated from 1974/ 5 and an original instruction manual. RF60, V5C, MOT and tax exempt
£3000-35000 + 13. 2% Buyers premium (including 20% VAT)
