1944 BSA WM20 (M20) 500cc Side-valve For Sale

Unique BSA for sale.

Unique, because it has the original unit/ divisional TAC markings on the front/ rear mud guards.

It's and unrestored bike, as I've tried to just keep it as it is - although mechanically usable, I just didn't want to mess with the patina.

It has a brand new front tyre - although an/ the original front tyre from 1956 with War department markings will come with it. There was nothing wrong it, but the date on it put me off using it!

Fully road registered - just kick start it and off you go.

I've put a period rear plate holder on it, but it can be removed. Original cig' lighter rear convoy light included.

Everything works as it should.

I have a raft of information with the bike, based on my own research - but feel free to complete it. Ideally it should be in a museum.
CD's and DVD's of BSA's in action included as well, from the forum.

Without giving too much away, It is from build contract S5209 and it served with the Guards Armoured Division - Royal Artillery - 3rd Battery. I'll include all my research with the bike, however I was hoping the firepower/ artillery museum would re-open so It could continue - but will leave that to it's new owner.

No PX, or timewasters please.
