Although, the BSA M20 was in many ways an unusual candidate for military service due to its weight, restricted ground clearance and pedestrian performance it did have other virtues. Mechanically ‘tough as old boots’, its capacity for hard work under the most adverse conditions and ease of maintenance soon made it a favourite with armed forces personnel.
This BSA M20 500c was despatched to the Ministry of Supply on 5th July 1941. Part of contract C9892, it was sent to Hartlebury Depot and allocated to the RAF. The motorcycle was subsequently fitted with a later engine in 1949. It appears to have had two previous owners before the late vendor purchased it for his collection in 2020. It has not been used for some time and will need some light recommissioning before use. It is offered with a current V5C and the BSA Owners’ Club dating certificate.
