In 1962 the BSA/Triumph understood that they needed to develop a new engine, as the vertical twin had more or less reached its design limitations. They adhered to the old Edward Turner dictum that a parallel-twin engine should not exceed 650cc or 6,500 rpm, while marques like Norton and Royal Enfield had taken their twins to 750 size, but not with resounding success. The company were actually looking for an entirely new engine concept, such as an in-line four, perhaps with an overhead camshaft, but that would take time and money and an interim carry-over concept was needed, the OHV triple.
This BSA A75 RV has been restored by Rob North (the triple expert). Restored c.8 years ago to a very high standard, in the very rare Blue and Chrome colour scheme. Not used for the last few years due to work commitments. Stored in a dry environment since it came back to the UK., it is an all correct numbers machine and will be run before the auction. Apologies for the quality of the pictures but this was due to the location constraints.
