In "The Illustrated History of BSA Motorcycles" Roy Bacon mentions it as the FF model, listed for only one year, and comments:
"BSA showed this model using a Daimler fluid flywheel and pre-selector three-speed gearbox late in 1933. Few were built as it was expensive and the oil drag ruined the performance."

I doubt if that leaves you any the wiser....
