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 1952 BSA A7 had been with the late vendor for over 20 years; in that time he has extensively restored the bike to a good standard, using it regularly until earlier this year. It benefits from a spin-off oil filter conversion. The BSA was running recently and will need the usual checks before being placed back on the road. It is offered with a current V5C, several previous MOT certificates, invoices for parts and handbooks.
