i belive this model is the m21 and had a 591cc engine, very much doubt it would of been that colour oridginally most were army bikes and green. earlier ones had girder forks and hard tail looked cool 8)

Whats a "sibgle"? and who has he got wrapped up in the pink plastic bag?, looks like a body!.................and another thing! its a side valve BSA M20 or M21 depending on whether a 500cc or 600cc motor, externally they looked the same, anyway.............................

It is a 591cc BSA M21 which was built in 1954 but registered 19 May 1981 and is still registered as Green   :)

I've often wondered how you can find out a vehicle's history from it's reg number Fifer. What website would that be?
