1962 BSA A65, 650cc. Registration number 848 GOB. Frame number A50 767. Engine number A65 767 H.C.
The decision by Lucas in the late 1950s to switch production of motorcycle electrical components (from magneto/dynamo systems to alternators/coil systems) forced British motorcycle manufacturers to completely redesign their engines. Triumph and BSA took the opportunity to move from pre-unit and semi-unit construction to full unit construction, that is, with the engine and gearbox together in an integrated casting.
GOB was owned by Ronald Labross of Holdnerness in 1985, our vendor buying it as a project in 1987, it has remained as one.
Prospective buyers should satisfy themselves as to the completeness of this matching numbers project, the original engine block is with the project, A65 767 H.C. as well as a partially rebuilt spare which is listed on the V5C.
Sold with the V5C
