BSA was once the world's most successful motorcycle company,
manufacturing more machines than any other in the world by the
mid-1950s. And yet, after winning the Queens Award to Industry for
exports in 1967 and 1968, it collapsed into bankruptcy in 1973.
This is an epic story of rise and fall, even by the precarious
standards of the British motorcycle industry. With over 170
illustrations, this book recalls the founding of the company and
its foray into bicycle and then motorcycle production. It describes
the evolution of the various models of motorcycles including
specification tables and discusses the diversification into cars,
commercial vehicles and guns for Spitfires. It recounts the
successes - two Maudes Trophies and numerous racing victories, and
documents the fall from grace to bankruptcy and beyond.
