1962 BSA A10, Golden Flash, 650cc. Registration number 431 YUA (non transferrable). Frame number GA7 723032. Engine number DA10 A424.
Launched in 1949, the BSA A10 was a development of the A7 500cc and was needed to compete with the Triumph Speed Twin, it was designed by Bert Hopwood (who had previously worked at Triumph and Norton). Initially it was available with a rigid frame but the rear plunger was a more popular choice, especially amongst the sidecar buyers. It had hinged rear mudguard and a semi unit gearbox mated to the parallel twin engine until 1954 when a swinging arm rear was introduced along with separate gearbox and engine. Initially offered in black and chrome to the UK market a new gold colour was introduced and became very popular and led to the name Golden Flash, some 80% of all units were made for export which meant that there were long waiting lists for UK buyers.
YUA was owned by Paul Schofield of Leigh in 2010 before selling it to our vendor in 2011. He has hardly used it and it appears either original or an older restoration. It will need recommissioning before use.
Sold with the V5C.
