This machine was purchased by the immediately preceding owner in 1998 from the family of previous owner Gordon Sweetmore of Heywood, Lancashire. Its owner since the 1980s, Gordon had used the bike extensively, including VMCC runs and events. Following acquisition, the aforementioned new owner appears to have used the machine initially before retiring it to garage storage. Comprising a (re-stamped) frame and an engine from 1951, the bike is fitted with a standard gearbox, touring bars and ordinary footrests. The late owner purchased the BSA at Bonhams' Stafford sale in April 2019 (Lot 576). Since then the registration has been changed and the machine kept it storage. Re-commissioning will be required before it returns to the road. The machine comes with a V5C and is sold strictly as viewed.
