BSA Imp sidecar outfit, Watsonian ?�?Palma?�� - project ?�� last run in 2002

I must regretfully sell my BSA/Imp outfit which I have owned since 1996. When I had it on the road (last in 2002) it proved to be well set up. in fact a real thrill to drive. tracking  and steering well ?�� although I always thought it was a little smoother on left handers ?�� all the gears. clutch etc. worked. I decided then. along with some other jobs to have the front wheel re-built with an alloy rim to match the back.

As a minimum there are a number of tasks to get the outfit back on the road which may or may not be obvious from the pictures. namely:

?�         Tank lined for modern petrol

?�         Overhaul/clean-out carburettors

?�         Service/repair front brake master cylinder (leaking) and brakes generally

?�         Replace throttle cable (a new one is supplied)

?�         New battery required (12V). also all electrics. switch gear etc. . need checking over

?�         Replace sidecar ?�?roof?��. or fit tonneau

There may well be other jobs. The bike kicks over but I have not attempted to start it bearing in mind the above.

The basic spec. is as follows:

?�         BSA frame (1960 A7 or A10 from frame no. in V5C on web site ref. )

?�         Triumph pre-unit 4 speed gearbox

?�         Norton Roadholder forks

?�         Hydraulically operated tls front brake (make unknown)

?�         Norton commando disc rear hub

?�         16?�? wheels (both alloy rims)

Included in the sale is a spare engine which I believe is of larger capacity and will need checking over (i. e. history unknown). a new Goodyear spare tyre for the sidecar. a new spare water pump (the one on the engine works perfectly well). a new set of piston rings. a service kit for the front brake master cylinder and a photocopy of an Imp engine manual (includes Stromberg carburettors).

Regarding the registration: when I bought the bike I inquired to DVLA about the original (1960) registration. They told me the original number was transferred to another vehicle and at that time this replacement no. was allocated. I have all this paperwork together with V5C (on sorn).

Please note: The bike is for sale to UK bidders only. I will not end the auction early.   Please see my other items for sale.

Terms of sale: ??100 deposit by paypal within 5 days of sale. the balance by bank transfer. cash or cheque (cleared). Also please note that the final auction price is exactly that. i. e. non-negotiable.
