This BSA 250 Victor was manufactured in November 1971 and despatched new to BSA Incorporated, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. An official safety inspection sticker (dated July 1981) found on the fork leg suggests it was bought by someone in Missouri. These late 250cc models, particularly the 'T', are rare as they were manufactured for less than two seasons immediately prior to the collapse of BSA-Triumph. Most 'T' models were exported, and they are seldom seen in the UK.
In 2018 the BSA was re-imported into the UK and purchased by the vendor from Yeomans Motorcycles as a retirement project. The machine was in a poor state of repair when purchased (see photograph on file) and the vendor has tried to rebuild it as near as possible to original specification and to a high standard, sourcing services and parts from recognised specialists. All bills relating to the restoration are on file together with a V5C Registration Certificate and BSA Dating Certificate confirming that the machine retains its original engine. The machine also comes with the vendor's detailed account of the restoration works carried out (perusal recommended).
