During the 1930s BSA concentrated on producing a range of dependable, well-made, competitively priced motorcycles. In the decade's early years, the firm offered two B-Series machines in the 250 class: one sidevalve, the other overhead-valve. Both featured engines having vertical cylinders and magneto ignition carried in conventional cycle parts with rigid frames and girder front forks. The gearbox was a three-speed unit with hand 'change. A higher specification 'Blue Star' model was an addition for 1933, a full electrical system, originally an optional extra, became standard equipment for 1934. De Luxe versions came with the four-speed gearbox and a choice of foot or hand change. Production of the popular B-Series 250s continued to the decade's end when the range was superseded by the new C-Series quarter-litre models: the C10 and C11. Purchased in May 1981 (receipt on file), this incomplete BSA B2 is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed. The machine comes with an old-style buff logbook (issued 1956) and an old-style V5, both of which confirm matching numbers. The registration 'FO 3086' is listed in the HPI database; nevertheless, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding. A spare engine, number 'HB26 368', is included in the sale.
