A new 650cc twin joined BSA's 500cc A7 model in 1949, the latter's engine being revised along the lines of the new design at the same time. The existing parallel twin architecture was retained for the new A10, with 360-degree crankshaft and single camshaft at the rear of the cylinder block, as was the four-speed gearbox bolted directly to the crankcase in a form of semi-unitary construction, and the tele-fork-and-plunger cycle parts. Named 'Golden Flash', the new 650 was strikingly finished in pale beige metallic. The model was up-dated with the swinging-arm frame and separate gearbox for 1955 and continued in production until 1962. This matching-numbers Golden Flash was despatched new to Briggs of Castleford, West Yorkshire on 10th December 1959. The current vendor acquired the BSA in September 1987 and has provided a detailed list of all works carried out and at what mileage (inspection recommended). Upgrades include an end-fed crankshaft, anti-sumping valve, spin-on oil filter, and 12-volt electrics. Sadly, the vendor's age means that he is no longer able to start the machine, hence the decision to sell. Accompanying documentation consists of a BSA Owners' Club Dating Certificate, V5C Registration Certificate, and SORN.
