Definitely a BSA but I think something of a hybrid or else a very rare variant. It has the later tank badge but the earlier plunger rear suspension and has a side valve motor. The motor looks too big to be a C10 250 so I think it is the old M20 500. Date about 1953. Non-original seat and front brake.

I am riding the BSA in the pic and still own it. I am the third owner and knew both the previous owners. It is a 1958 M21 (600cc sidevalve). It is a rare civilian model (most were made for the AA). It is completely original. I acquired it in 1975 as a sidecar outfit (double adult Watsonian). I rode it as a solo and outfit (single seater) until the mid eighties. It then spent many years in a corner of the garage. Three years ago I cleaned it up, re-attached it to the single seater sidecar and use it as often as I can. It runs as sweetly as ever and has now done 41,000 miles. If anyone is interested I'll post current pictures.
