From 1968 the Thunderbolt benefited from a number of minor improvements including a longer kick start to make starting easier and metal tank badges to replace the earlier plastic ones, which had a tendency to crack. An Amal Concentric carburettor dealt with the problems of fuel flooding experienced with the earlier monobloc carburettor, by having the float bowl arranged centrally around (concentric with, hence the name) the main jet to remove the sensitivity to fuel surge inherent in all the earlier designs.

Having formally been a part of a private collection of motorcycles, this all correct and matching numbers machine had been the subject of an older restoration and it is still holding up well. We have been informed that the BSA is ‘running well’. It comes complete with a current V5C and some old MOT Certificates.
