The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in1861 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 become one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. The 654cc unit-construction parallel twins were launched in 1962 as the A65 Star model with various improvements introduced throughout the decade. The Lightning version sported twin carbs but the single-carb Thunderbolt was a more usable all round.

This BSA Thunderbolt was sold to the Jordanian Embassy originally and was purchased by the late vendor in 1994 (a receipt on file), he traced all the previous owners from new through the DVLA. He purchased a larger petrol tank for longer journeys and the original still comes with the machine when purchased. It benefits from a full set of Craven panniers (purchase receipt on file) as well as a good history file with receipts and details of work carried out. It has had a replacement engine from a 1971 A65 sometime in its life. Light recommissioning will be required before placing back on the road.
