The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in 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. The 'B' range of BSA singles was the mainstay of British motorcycling in the 50s and 60s providing riders with a bike they could commute to work during the week and ride for pleasure at weekends. The standard ZB models formed the basis of the classic Gold Star 350 and 500 sports bikes.

This B31 has been part of an enthusiast private collection of classic bikes spanning the decades from the 1950s to the early 2000s. Unfortunately, due to ill health, he can no longer ride and maintain the bikes so he reluctantly has to let them find new homes. Not run for a number of years, they have been carefully stored in a dry building but will all need recommissioning before use. The bike is the typical late 1940s to early 1950s BSA layout of telescopic front forks and rigid rear end and is presented in authentically restored standard trim. Once recommissioned it will make a very useable and lightweight bike for Vintage runs and rallies and is being offered with a current V5C.
