"Dry Stored" ?

Does that mean that you can have dry rust and wet rust, much the same as dry rot and wet rot ?

I think this bike was featured in THE CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE many years ago,they did a series authentic and unrestored,it could have been in the early 1990s.

"...IT IS A RUNNING BIKE THAT HAS BEEN IN DRY STORAGE WITH THE REST SINCE 1996 " ... so why does it have an August 2011 (08/11) tax disc on it then?

Nice bike for a resto. project but not starting out at that price...

Could be orgasmic for a post war 'patina' freak though... ...To me it just looks like a rough old bike that needs the application of some TLC and lots of cash to make a reliable and desirable runner..Ian

I was born in '52. To the best of my knowledge the war was over by then.

As they used to say down the old East End. "Times were 'ard! We coutn'd get no bananas till 1952, but you could leave yer back door open" Ron

That is a very nice project, the oval BSA logo's on the tank looks original which makes me think it still has quite a lot original paint.

Looking at the position of the rearstand and the kickstartlever I think it needs quite some mechanical work but concerning the exterior I would probably only repaint the mudguards as it would be a shame to overspray the original paint. But it won't be mine at that price

Looks to have been sold, anyone on here?

Perhaps he took it off in shame.
Large packs for panniers, what a bargain

Maybe he visits here? I see the listing was changed from 1954 to 1940's. Ron
