BSA had introduced their rival to the Triumph Speed Twin, the A7, during September 1946, an unusual feature of the new machine being the gearbox which bolted to the back of the crankcases, suggesting unit construction. A sports variant was added for 1949 to counter the success of the Triumph Tiger 100. Called the Star Twin the new model featured a twin carburettor head and a raised compression ratio. The revised engine was fitted to the new plunger equipped frame and finished with a silver and chrome petrol tank and wheels.
The A7 offered is presented in a dismantled state requiring restoration. The major components are present as is a buff log book.
