BSA B31 350cc 1955 plunger rear in show condition For Sale

Very reluctant sale of my show condition BSA B31 350 cc plunger. I've owned this since late 2016 and never intended to sell it - my father owned the same model in the early 70s, fond memories. Has been kept in my lounge except on the rare days it was taken outside to be started. It has only been ridden a couple of short journeys since I bought it through lack of time (I work away from home). The bike is in perfect condition in my opinion, there is a small oil leak from the engine casing when she is hot, I guess a teaspoon full over an hour.

The bike comes with some neat and rare documentation, sample of which I have included in the photos.

Curiously the rear mudguard does state '500cc', I suspect this was because of limitation in finding the best condition yet 'right' part some time during its 63 year life.

I bought the best I could afford and this is a beautiful bike. The bike is ready to be ridden every weekend.

You are more than welcome to view and hear the bike run but a test ride will be dependent on you providing proof of insurance. The bike is better than it looks in the photos and could be bought without viewing in my opinion.

PRICE REDUCED.
