BSA Documentary film
« on: 05.01. 2010 22:40 »
Some of you may have seen this amazing film already, but for the benefit of those of you that have not take a look at this http://www.factualtv.com/documentary/Best-of-British-BSA This film is not exclusively about A10's and A7's but they are covered in some depth. There are interviews with many BSA personalties including Eddie Dow, Alistair Cave, Doug Hele, Brian Martin, and many more. If you are BSA fan you will really enjoy this.

great stuff, just watched the lot. Might have to get that one. Did you spot the mistake about the A7SS and the downward pointing rocker feed pipe discussed in another topic here recently ? Thanks A101960.

Great video, didn't know it. Thanks for posting!

muskrat - Which mistake do you mean? The statement about the A7SS being introduced in 1964 or the missing rubber beading between headlamp and nacelle?  *smile*

G'day MG, I didn't notice the missing rubber. Good spot. Video streaming is very ordinary on this old nerdbox.
Will have to buy a copy as my grabber wont touch it.'
