Hello Ivan,

You may be able to identify your model from this list?: http://www.draganfly.co.uk/data/pdf/bsa_vin.pdf

Thank you for your answer and for the list very kindly but I'm not able to understand what kind of model is, and you? I haven't got information about the bike (engine, year or someone else). Does exist a model list with pictures? I desire to know because I think it's beautiful  :) Ivan

Ivan, If you look and find the frame and engine numbers it will help to identify the bike.

Is it all from the same year ? I'm not too well up on BSAs but it looks like a 1920s engine (a Model L for example) fitted in a later rolling chassis, certainly the large saddle-tank looks later than the engine.

I've been looking at this possibility myself. It looks like a model L engine in a frame designed for a powerfull engine, the front brake is massive for the size of the engine and the frame looks like its long enough for a V twin!

Yhank you to all of you!!!! In these days I passed a lot of time to compare this photo with all that I find in internet or on english site of BSA amatours. I also think that the engine is about of the end of 20' and the bike some years later. So I decide to don't buy this bike because I'm not sure about it..... Waiting for a new ORIGINAL BSA  :) thank you again Ivan
