A letter on file from a former owner, Charles Rigby of RAF Catterick, dated 26th of February 1984 and addressed to a Mr Williams of Kings Lynn, Norfolk, states that Rigby bought it from a Michael Share of Ushaw Moor in the spring of 1977. Rigby purchased the BSA as a solo in poor condition and rebuilt it, attaching a Busmar sidecar (see photographs on file). He also fitted a reconditioned bottom-end (as currently installed) and beautified 'everything'. It would appear that Mr Rigby sold the BSA to Mr Fred Church of RAF Cranwell. In late 1983/early 1984 a Mr Williams bought the machine from an owner on the outskirts of Sleaford, Lincolnshire. He restored it during 1984 and kept it for four years.
Purchased Tony East in 1990, the BSA has since been restored throughout and comes with restorer Bryan Small's invoice for £3,900. The odometer reading of 558 miles is believed to be the distance covered since restoration. Additional documentation includes a quantity of invoices relating to Mr Williams' restoration of 1984; an invoice for a rebuilt magneto in 1997; Motor Cycle data book; instruction manual; service sheets; a quantity of old MoTs; and old/current V5/V5C documents. Two keys present.
