The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century, they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. During the 1920s BSA proudly boasted that ‘One in four motorcycles is a BSA’ and that their bikes were ‘the most popular motorcycles in the world’.

This 1926 BSA Model L, which is offered from a deceased estate, was bought by the late owner in 1981 and restored by him thereafter. An attractive bike, finished in classic BSA colours of Green and Cream, it has gained a nicely mellowed look since its completion. The BSA has not been used for a number of years and will need some recommissioning before use. The engine turns over and the gears all select. Once recommissioned, it will make an ideal mount for vintage and veteran events such as the Banbury Run. It comes complete with a V5C, some paperwork and the original receipt from 1981.

PLEASE NOTE: Records state this BSA is 500cc, however we are informed it is 350cc
