Fascinating stuff. If anybody knows the history, is it original BSA work etc.

E.

ps... Am happy this doesn't show up on Ebay, I'd loose my house or something like that. Would I need an A10 display engine? Absolutely not at all. Would I want to own it and pay too much+++ ?...Absolutey Yes!!! Very strange    ;D

I got to wondering where I got this pic from, searched through my files and found it was one I took at the National Motorcycle Museum in November 2002 , in the background is part of a Sunbeam engine/transmissoin.
Goodness knows if it survived the fire.
About twelve of us hired a minibus to go down for the day, it was a fantastic day, anybody been there since the fire?

BTW I have a pic of the A10/7 and B range frame drawings with measurement if anyone want it

Yes I am also facinated by cutaway engines especially those workable moving ones. They have one on the counter at SRM, dont know if its an A10, trying to memorise it. Could be an A65, but is fully workable and I have amused myself silly while waiting for service, good idea of them to place it there.
