Ex Alvis man FW Hulse joined the BSA team and produced the ingenious BSA front wheel drive three wheeler - the first volume produced front wheel drive car in the world. Fitted with the lusty BSA development of the old Hotchkiss V twin overhead valve air cooled engine. It came with full electrics including electric start, coupled brakes, and double transverse ifs. All models had three speed & reverse.
Even more refined was a 1075cc 4 cylinder water cooled Special Sports side valve model introduced for 1933.
Pictured: 1934 BSA TW34-10 Special Sports. These Sports versions had all alloy bodywork which were built in house at the Small Heath works. Options included light alloy cylinder head & twin carburettors. During their production run from 1930 to 1936 they out sold Morgans by almost four to one. Reliable and capable of long distances they were well used to the point where only a few hundred remain today.

Restored in 1970 using genuine BSA parts, with very little use since. 389 monobloc carb and Catalina gearbox makes it a great useable bike to ride. Racing spec front forks by Frank USA.
