BSA M20 riders handbooks.

These riders handbooks are from my collection,below are two early ones both KM.

Below is the the earliest WM I have.

The next four are from engine and frame numbers WM2O 14,OO1 to WM2O 42,OOO.


Below is the front inside cover of my latest one (last week) with two C numbers the cover is shown above contract No C6654.

The ones below are later ones.

I wish i had c6654.i have the earlier contractbook wich isnt correct for me

Re: BSA M20 riders handbooks.

That's a nice set, Steve...the Norton books show a similar progression from contract-specific manuals to the REME / Air Publications system. Do the BSA contract-marked books differ internally ? The Norton books are hopeless - based on a circa 1936 civilian book, with incorrect spark plug grades, incorrect timing information and details on the OHV and OHC range...But for each contract they faithfully printed a new cover...Probably just to amuse completionist collectors, eighty years later.:grinning:

My treasured finds though are Spare Parts lists, especially if they have the extra LV6 / 7 and Tools & Equipment pages...There is much to be learned from those.

Re: BSA M20 riders handbooks.

Yes there is differences between them, the early ones have 52 pages, the scruffy cover one contract C12424 has only 40 pages, 100/B.C.2 has 52 pages then 100/B.C.2A and all the later ones have 56 pages, also the covers of 100/B.C.2 and 100/B.C.2A show that the piled arms changed over to the winged BSA motif.
