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.

This very well-presented 350cc B31 was restored a few years ago to a good standard with some nicely finished chrome and burgundy paintwork. It has been stored for the last few years in a private collection so will need recommissioning before use. The frame has rear plunger suspension with telescopic forks up front and the seating is provided with a sprung saddle at the front and a pad on the rear for a pillion. It is supplied with a current V5C.
