Although the BSA M20 was in many respects the least suitable candidate for military service being heavy with poor ground clearance and uninspiring performance it did have certain virtues of value to the military user. Mechanically tough with a capacity for hard work under the most adverse conditions and simple to maintain it serve its country well.
This BSA M20 500c was despatched to the Ministry of Supply on the 5th July 194. It was part of contract C9892 and was sent to Hartlebury Depot and allocated to the RAF. It has been fitted with a later engine in 1949. It appears to have had two previous owners before the late vendor purchased it for his collection in 2020. It has not been used for some time and will need some light recommissioning before use. It is offered with a current V5C and the BSA Owner’s Club dating certificate.
