For 1971, a new frame was developed by BSA which broke with convention by carrying the engine oil within it, with the filler being located at the nose of the seat. The opportunity was taken to update the A-series twins cosmetically to give a lither appearance; a new twin leading-shoe front brake and complementary conical rear hub enhanced the looks. However, the new design did not allow the engine to fit. For BSA, who had announced a 13-bike catalogue for 1971, production delays and a price increase across the range in August 1971 spelled the end, with the last machines being sold during 1972. Three variants of the A65 were offered: the single-carburettor Thunderbolt, twin-carburettor Lightning and the Firebird Street Scrambler.

This 1971 BSA Firebird Scrambler was purchased by the vendor for his private collection, which he has now decided to sell. Since acquisition, the vendor has gone through the bike and undertaken work to bring it up to the current standard. We are advised the BSA runs very well and is ready for the road. There is a folder with copies of the workshop manual, a host of invoices for parts and work carried out and a current V5C.
