I know what you mean.
I found the numbers on a website explaining Pre war BSA serial numbers.
There al the years start with a 101 so I tought my bike could be a first one.
If it is not,al the same to me. I do not know what you mean with registration.
I live in belgium and the bike was bought in france. The owner did not know much about
its past. He told me it could be an ex french police bike as they rode on this type of bikes in
the 30's. A lot of gessing tough. The engine number was completely worn or filed away.
Had to use an acid to be able to read it. It is Z5 361. The first didgits I am sure about but the 361
was not quite clear. I do think the frame numbers are original but you can never be sure af course.

Hey,thanks for the replies.
I was not going for a concours bike but I do like the look of the
big headlights. My bike left the factory as a foot gear change model
but someware in its 80 year lifespan it got changed in a hand shifter.
Not original annymore but I dont mind that to much. I want a correct looking
bike that is a good runner.

Hey,

I did find the reproductions on the web. I was wondering
if there are stil originals going arround that can be restored.
