1954 BSA 500cc, oiley rag bike, transferable number. For Sale

For sale is my old BSA 500cc motorcycle, had been stored since the late 1970's, see last tax disc, used on the road by me for last five years after fitting a brand new old stock (not reconditioned ) magneto, she now starts first kick and ticks over like a clock.
The bike is un restored, and does not have any pattern reproduction parts fitted, snd has survived the hand of modern restorers. Runs well, but does show its age, smokes a bit, which I believe is the carb set too rich, as there are no signs of oil on the plug, the big end does knock a little if ridden on full advance, its done this for the last five years and not got any worse, hardly worth mentioning, but I am an honest seller so have to tell you all known faults.
All electrics work, dynamo charges and battery holds its charge.
Tyres are old, and should be changed some time soon
It is scruffy, but very reliable, probably not worth restoring, just use and tidy as you ride.

Missing the small decompression lever on the rocker box, otherwise seems complete.

The BSA is exempt from mot and tax
