• Current ownership since 1992
• Restored to an authentic military presentation
• A highly presentable machine for light recommissioning

Launched in civilian trim in 1937, the BSA M20 was a sturdy and torquey model ideally suited to sidecar-pulling. Although not an obvious candidate for military service, being a heavy machine with low ground clearance and only steady acceleration, it possessed many excellent qualities which made it ideal under military conditions. Mechanically tough, straightforward to maintain, and able to perform dependably under the most adverse conditions and simple to maintain, it served its country well during her time of need.

The known history of this 1942 M20 begins in 1990, when it first appears on DVLA records in the ownership of Mr. Chris Elderfield. It was acquired by the late owner in 1992 and subsequently treated to a restoration to full military specification, before being widely shown at meetings and rallies. The owner regarded it as one of his favourite bikes and we are told it was the one his family enjoyed the most. It is clear he made considerable effort to research the model in order to ensure its accurate presentation. Having now been out of use for a short while, it will require some recommissioning. The sale includes the current V5C, many old MOT certificates and a 1992 bill of sale.
