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 650cc A10 Golden Flash, to give it its full name, was developed by Bert Hopwood in 1949 to compete with the parallel twins being offered by Triumph and Norton at the time. With a good turn of speed and a strong chassis, it probably became the world's first 'Sports Tourer', equally happy as a weekend pleasure bike or lugging around a double adult sidecar during the week.

On offer here from a deceased estate is a 1954 A10 Golden Flash that was first registered on 17^th May 1954. Accompanying the bike to the sale is a BSA Service Sheets booklet, a Haynes manual, a large collection of old tax discs and MOT certificates back to 1985, sundry DVLA paperwork and a copy of an old V5 that records just 2 former keepers. Understood to have not been run in the last 18 months 'OYK 692' has been in current family ownership since 1992 and is offered with a current V5C Registration Document.
