During the 1930s BSA concentrated on producing a range of dependable, well-made, competitively priced motorcycles. When BSA's single-cylinder range was redesigned by Val Page for 1937, the engines took on many of the characteristics they would retain in the post-war era, most notably dry-sump lubrication and gear drive to a rear-mounted magneto. There were three new offerings in the 250 class: the sidevalve B20 and overhead-valve B21 and Empire Star models, the latter featuring foot change as standard on the four-speed gearbox shared with the others. Production of the popular B-Series 250s continued to the decade's end when the range was superseded by the new C-Series quarter-litre models: the C10 and C11.
This B21 was imported from the USA and has been signed by the famous American racing motorcyclist, Dick Mann. An older restoration, the BSA carries the California registration 'DLRBA 17721' and displays a total of 3,631 miles on the odometer. Recommissioning will be required before he machine returns to the road and thus it is sold strictly as viewed. A State of Colorado Certificate of Title (issued 2009) is the only document supplied. This machine is offered with a NOVA declaration.
