"This bike was ridden until 1975, then stored until 2009 when it hit the road again. While untested, the owner claims it starts and runs well but recommends a full service due to recent inactivity. It holds permanent inspection exemption."

Description

Originally sold to the first owner in the Skövde area, this bike was actively used until 1974/75. An attempt to trade it at a local bike shop for a fair price failed due to the increasing popularity of Japanese bikes, and the owner exchanged it for a car lift in 1997 with the second owner in the same area. In 2009, the current owner, a collector with mechanical expertise, acquired it. Regular inspections, the last one in 2017, granted it permanent exemption.

The current owner has taken it for short rides of about 20-30 kilometers each year to local car events. The bike remains original and in good condition, with minor age-related blemishes but no rust or dents.

Although it hasn't been ridden much in the past three years, a service and review are recommended. The bike also includes its original brochure and older paperwork.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The owner attests that the bike runs well, although it hasn't seen much use in the past three years. It boasts good wheels and tires. A routine service and a brief review are recommended.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bike is in its original condition, free from any dents or signs of accident damage. It does have a few minor scratches, and the chrome parts show slight oxidation, but these imperfections can be easily restored to their full shine with a proper polish.

  • General condition:

    Indeed, finding an original BSA Thunderbolt in such remarkable condition with low mileage is a rare opportunity. It's the perfect motorcycle for a collector or enthusiast to cherish and enjoy.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
