A Piece of Motorcycling History

A true & honest original example of this rare and sought after iconic BSA in Flamboyant Candy Red metallic. Less than 6,000 Rocket 3's were produced between 1968 - 1972. (5,897 bikes were manufactured so company figures state) The standard of this bike is very high, both mechanically and cosmetically. The previous owner has spent a sizable amount of time and money to keep the machine in A1 running order. The engine has benefitted from a top end overhaul & new carbs. An oil pressure gauge has been added for peace of mind. There are several owners manuals, handbooks and magazines accompanying the bike together with V5 and two sets of keys. The attention to detail is superb. Matching chassis and engine number A75RXC0103. Making this Only the 3rd machine off the production line - A75RXC0101 being the first to be produced in December of 1968 Previously sold by us to a local gentleman and pretty as a picture, this machine is being sold as a collector’s item, part of a stunning private collection of Vintage and Classic machines that have all been dry stored for several of years and will require light recommissioning prior to use.
