Previously known for their side arms and bicycles, B.S.A. had begun motorcycle manufacture in 1910 and by the late 1920's they were the largest motorcycle producers in Britain, if not the world. It was from their factory at Small Heath that a new car emerged and it was a three wheeler designed by F.W. Hulse using the Hotchkiss 1021cc twin cylinder engine. It was a competitor to the Morgan three wheeler and although less sporting it was more comfortable and easier to drive. The model's popularity resulted in the factory soon producing some 2,000 examples per annum. Within a few years, BSA was offering a whole range of front-engined, front-wheel drive three-wheeled mircocars to suit all requirements, from a Sports model to a Family one with child seats in the rear. Prices ranged from around £100 to £125 and BSA three-wheeler production continued sometime after the introduction of its four-wheeled Scout model of 1934.

This example is understood to date from around 1933 and is offered for restoration, the vendor advising it is basically complete. Powered by a Hotchkiss V Twin, this interesting project is UK registered and accompanied by a Swansea V5 document.
