SUMMARY

A well cared for example of BSA's 1950s sporting 500 twin.

DESCRIPTION

  • The A7 500cc OHV Twin was a staple of the BSA range until 1961
  • This classically presented example was purchased by our vendor in 2015 from respected BSA dealer/restorer Mark Garside, Lancashire
  • The previous keeper was a collector and had owned it since 1995, prior to his purchase it had been off the road for several years 
  • Four owners from new
  • The 'Pale Polychromatic Green' paintwork is certainly older, and maybe original. The tank is dent free and the chrome is nicely patinated.
  • Annually serviced by our enthusiastic vendor every Spring. Recent magneto rebuild
  • A very usable example that runs and rides beautifully
