When he arrived in 1936, he discovered that BSA had 18 models in its catalogue, of which six, including the B18, were ‘new’ introductions • It combined a 1933-vintage 249cc four-stroke single with a 4-speed hand-change gearbox and Lucas Magdyno ignition. It also boasted an 8” headlamp and separate oil tank, to replenish the total-loss oil supply to exposed overhead valve gear • The B18 used a diamond type frame and BSA girder forks and the factory finish was a black frame, chrome plated rims with black centres and chrome plated petrol tank with green panels and black rubber knee pads •We understand that this example has benefitted from a previous restoration, however it appears currently to be in need of further restorative works •Supplied with a current V5, some history and workshop manuals •A very rare bike and may well be sought after when returned to top form A one year only model, only 250 were built to this specification and very few survived WWII.
