1960 BSA 650cc A10 'ISDT Replica'
Registration no. XOR 893
Frame no. GA7.4803
Engine no. DA10 10116 (see text)

Although far too heavy to be of any use in either one-day trials or scrambles races, the BSA A10 twin was an altogether different proposition when it came to long-distance endurance events such as the International Six Days Trial (ISDT), where top speed was of greater importance. BSA first entered its new twin-cylinder models in the ISDT in 1951, with Trophy team captain Fred Rist on a 650cc A10 and Vase team members Basil hall and Tom Ellis on Star Twins. The 1951 ISDT was held in Varese, Italy where the British Trophy team secured victory for the fourth year on the trot, vindicating the decision to use the new BSA twins.
This BSA A10 ISDT replica has been used in New Zealand, as evidenced by various rally and event tags. The frame is of 1960 type, as is the engine. The engine number relates to a 650cc Golden Flash that has been uprated with an alloy cylinder head. Both the frame and engine number are believed to be correct factory stampings. Notable features include a Mikuni carburettor, Lyta alloy fuel tank, and a small competition headlamp. DVLA records show that the last MoT expired in July 2016 and the machine appears untaxed since October 2020. Recommissioning will be required before further use. Offered with sundry bills and an HPI check sheet.
