The BSA A7 was the first of the BSA twin-cylinder motorcycles. The outbreak of World War II delayed the launch and several prototypes were built during the war years, with the model finally launched in September 1946, when hostilities had ended. The very first A7 off the production line was flown to Paris for the first motorcycle show after the end of the war. There was huge demand for affordable transport after the war and the simplicity of the A7 twin was helped along by the slogan 'It's time YOU had a BSA!'.
This BSA A7 project has been with the current owner since 1976. He rebuilt the engine to complete the restoration, but due to other commitments, the project stalled. Sadly, it was pushed to the back of the garage until the pictures were taken recently. The engine turns over with compression and rolls freely. An ideal and worthy project to complete. It is offered with the V5C.
