The BSA Lightning Clubman was a 650cc British motorcycle made by BSA at their factory in Birmingham between 1964 and 1965. Finished in Gold and Black, the Lightning Clubman is now a highly sought-after classic motorcycle, thanks to the very limited production run of just 200. Replicas are often created by enthusiasts from the BSA Lightning.
This genuine 1965 BSA Lightning Clubman has had just three previous owners from new. Most of the history is known from new. Sold by W.M Snell, in Alton on the 11th May 1965 the BSA was kept by the first keeper until 1969 when it was sold to Mr Brady (higher purchase agreement on file), the BSA being kept and used by Mr Brady until it was sold to a Mr Rushton in 2014. He then set about carrying out a full restoration on the machine, so the Clubman was completely stripped and overhauled to a very high standard using some SRM components. It was completed in 2015 and went back to Snells in Alton where it was supplied originally, albeit now a Ducati dealership. The Clubman was sold again to the late vendor in 2023, due to Mr Ruston's passing. There is a wonderful folder full of paperwork including old pictures from back in the day. On file are lots of receipts for parts and work carried out and a current V5C. Being offered at 'no reserve', some recommissioning will be required before putting it back on the road.
