1961 BSA A7 500 "Flash" 500cc
Priced at SOLD. This is very authenic, unmolested machine is a US spec. BSA (the 500 Flash for the US market). Originally dispatched to Hap Alzina (one of the USA distributors) on the 18th of October 1960, & is a 1961 model. The BSA was imported back to the UK (we believe in 2017) & registered with the DVLA (UK registration number 510 UYX). The last UK owner did manage to contact the last elderly US owner, who bought it from a fellow employee at the lumber yard where he worked in about 1967. Has the latest DVLA V5C registration document, is registered for free road tax under the 'Historic Vehicle' class & benefits from being MOT exempt.
We have now had the bike in the workshop. It runs beautifully, changes gear smoothly & all the electrics work nicely! It all appears in keeping with the indicated mileage of just over 15,000. The paintwork is believed to be original, except for the black flashes on the mudguards.
