Seller's Description
BSA WM20, 1942. I believe it came to Australia as part of 'the war effort' and initially stationed in Darwin. There's an external air filter to be fitted next to the back wheel (in the box), these (I'm told) were specific to Australia - different to the tank mounted filters for Africa. Bike runs well, a few rattles and clunks but hey it's 76 years old. It's great for going slow, the British army used to recommend 45mph max. Currently on club plates. Mostly original I believe, oil leak? of course - factory standard they tell me. Some spares in the tub there, field stand to be fitted (no bracket), canvas grips, correct tool box (incorrect one currently on bike), period correct numberplate for front guard (not use on military bikes?). I've probably forgotten some necessary information but please ask away. I'm in the Yarra Valley, Victoria you're welcome to come and have a look. If you're interstate you'll need to organise transport but of course I'm happy to load it and maybe even get it to the transport depot if it's not too far away. The odometer shows 504 miles. Low beam doesn't work I think it's just one of the filaments. There's a bolt missing on the handlebar clamps (see photo). The engine size is 496cc but I had to pick an option and the only option was 475.
