1960 BSA 646cc A10 Project
Registration no. 819 AUL (see text)
Frame no. GA7 11118
Engine no. DA10 12979

Introduced in 1949, BSA's rugged 650cc twin had undergone considerable development by the end of the succeeding decade. On the cycle parts front, the introduction of a swinging-arm frame in 1954 had resulted in the original bolt-up gearbox's replacement by a conventional separate item, while the engine had benefited from numerous improvements including an increase in compression ratio for 1958 and the standardisation of the sports models' high-lift camshaft for 1959. This BSA A10 has been partially dismantled, the owner's intention being to build a flat track-style machine. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, it comes with an old-style continuation logbook (issued 1976). The registration '819 AUL' is listed in the HPI database; nevertheless, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding.
