Second in popularity among specials builders only to the Triton, the Tri-BSA combined the fine handling qualities of BSA's proven duplex frame with the robustness and tune-ability of the Triumph twin-cylinder engine. According to certificates issued by the respective marque's owners' clubs, this example consists of a BSA B31 frame and a Triumph Tiger 110 engine, both dating from 1956. The front end is more modern and the machine also features Akront wheel rims, an external oil filter, oil pressure gauge, 2-into-1 stainless steel exhaust system, Gold Star-type silencer, solo seat, and a Smiths rev counter. The engine turns over with little compression and thus the machine will require re-commissioning at the very least, or possibly more extensive restoration, before returning to the road. Its mechanical condition is not known. Accompanying documentation includes an expired MoT (July 2012), SORN paperwork, a V5C, and the aforementioned dating certificates.
