For most of its existence, the Birmingham Small Arms Company was the UK's largest motorcycle manufacturer. Indeed, in the immediate post-WW2 years, when the once mighty and now sadly long gone Small Heath works turned out over 75,00 machines in a good year, BSA was actually the world's number one bike maker.
As well as making the legendary Beeza Gold Star 4-stroke single, successful both as a cafe racer for the North Circular as well as in the Clubmans TT on the Isle of Man, their Bantam 2-stroke proved to be a hit with commuters.
Offered here is a really fun Bantam. Presented as a `Green Lane Special', which is strictly for off-roading, a pre-1965 sports frame is powered by a single-cylinder Bantam 2-stroke engine of 175cc capacity, which it is claimed turns over. The swinging arm is to competition-spec, while a 400-18 rear tyre and a 21ins diameter front wheel are fitted. Clients should be aware that this entirely practical project is being auctioned here today entirely without reserve.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
