SUMMARY
A one year only model, only 250 were built to this specification and very few survived WWII.
DESCRIPTION
- It’s not clear why the B18 was produced in such small numbers, but it’s possible that the arrival of Val Page at BSA as chief designer was the catalyst. When he arrived in 1936, he discovered that BSA had 18 models in its catalogue, of which six, including the B18, were ‘new’ introductions
- It combined a 1933-vintage 249cc four-stroke single with a 4-speed hand-change gearbox and Lucas Magdyno ignition. It also boasted an 8" headlamp and separate oil tank, to replenish the total-loss oil supply to exposed overhead valve gear
- The B18 used a diamond type frame and BSA girder forks and the factory finish was a black frame, chrome plated rims with black centres and chrome plated petrol tank with green panels and black rubber knee pads
- We understand that this example has benefitted from a previous restoration, however it appears currently to be in need of further restorative works
- Supplied with a current V5, some history and workshop manuals
- A very rare bike and may well be sought after when returned to top form
