c.1941 BSA 496cc M20 Registration no. not registered Frame no. BM20.3200 Engine no. WM20.30667 BSA launched a new single-cylinder range 1937. Intended mainly for the sidecar enthusiast, the two biggest sidevalve models were the 496cc M20 and 596cc M21, both of which came with rigid frames, girder forks and four-speed, hand-change gearboxes. Ruggedly built and endowed with copious low-speed pulling power, both models were highly successful in their intended role as sidecar tugs and many M20s did sterling service as despatch riders' mounts with Allied forces during WW2. The duo were regularly updated, important developments prior to WW2 including the adoption of a foot-change gearbox and, in the M21's case, a change to a longer-stroke 591cc engine. M20 production ceased in 1955 while the M21 lasted until the end of 1958, though it remained available to special order until 1963. Nothing is known of the history of this 'civilianised' M20 prior to its purchase by the vendor around 30 years ago, since when it has been dry stored. Recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent will be required before the machine returns to the road and thus it is sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over).
