G'day from Australia, A10 Super Rocket has a single R stamped in the engine numbers and a Road Rocket has RR in the engine numbers, no Rs then it's an A10, hope that helps, cheers mate.

Best one I've ever seen, lovely turn out and styling!

Bloody phone Again !

Lovely A10. Sounds beautiful. I have great memories of riding my own A10 but with clip-ons and high level pipes, spitfire cams etc.

Sorry but this BSA isn't from 1960. as the sign posted indicates. Ventiladed dual-shoe frente system brake, came on later models. Beautiful bike!!!! Thanks Andy for sharing!!!

That front brake cable 🤔

i have the Super Rocket with the high compression pistons , got to get the advance retard lever right , if you don't , it kicks back like hell .. this bike looks more friendly .. give an A10 over a Bonnie any day .

That's a Pretty Fast Ride Peter.😅 Nice and interesting A10 based Bike.

Had one of these in the mid 80’s and used it for everyday transport in London while at Uni. Also rode it from Christchurch, Dorset up to Wakefield for the 1985 Jampot Rally. Made it with a big smile on my face with lots of flies stuck in my teeth! Good fun to ride and made lovely sound through the Barbican tunnel😂

'Been sat in a shed' Why do people keep them? They should be regularly Ridden, and out on the road- where they BELONG!

Nice old British classic ! Sounds good my best wishes to you from the Philippines ❤️👍😉😀😁🏁🏍️🛺🐑🇵🇭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

That's a Superb J2 Peter ❤ very rarely seen.

I haven't seen one in the flesh. That's Really nice. 👍

Slack advance like all REs, proper. Need a J2 in my collection one day! Peter, can you tell me where you got this pattern Lycett Saddle from?

Thats how a vintage motorcycle SHOULD look. I only hope it goes into the hands of an equally enthusiastic new owner, who will appreciate all the previous hard work on it's superb turn out, and keeps this equally as nice with lots of autosol and black fingers! I have lost count of the many motorcycles I have previously owned, in equally as immaculate condition, only for some lazy old bozo to buy it, and neglect the very thing that they bought it for.. Unbelievable!

Stunning big single. Ticks like a clock. 👍

A beautiful machine 🙂 As the other comment I only started appreciating old machines when i was 54 now that's 6 years ago and i like riding machines well before my time my great grandfathers era and i certainly appreciate them.. i should be riding 80,s / 90s but no sod that !! 🤔 i like both old and new retro !

Very tempted to

What a Fantastic and Outstanding Machine the G3L is. Top class ❤

Superb motorcycle - Plumsteads finest . . .

Lovely bike. I had a 55 G3LS. I did 500 miles in a day on it. Cruised at 55mph all day long. I believe that the auto advance was introduced in 56.

Lovely Matchless. I always like watching Peter ride em through the back lot. I got my '57 G3LS from Andy and Peter. They set them up beautifully!

A beauty 👍

It's a beautiful bike Matchless my uncle living in Cyprus and he had exactly the same one as that but my uncle is no longer with he loves Matchless he told me so many stories I am from London visit Cyprus in 1979 on holiday honey let me have a ride on that Matchless the first bike I had a go on ever since then I've always loved British motorbikes Matchless always came with a chrome tank in Cyprus I was visiting Cyprus and I went to a classic car show and motorbikes I saw several Matchless with chrome tank

Gorgeous! Get that van out of there !

Can't criticise Peter for liking AMC, the build quality on my AJS is top notch.

I reckon its allways worth putting these old bikes in gear and pulling backwards to free off the clutch before starting especially if not ridden much. Lovely looking machine but I can't help saying I would prefer a B31. Those jampots not very handsome. Very nice all the same

Beautiful bike but I fear that the riders that love and appreciate machines like this are fading away, I can’t see the younger generation taking much interest to be honest. It’s a real shame.

Beautiful bike. I had one a 1956 looked exactly the same. Rode it to the 1963 I o m TT never missed a beat. Loved it. I want one ❤

Thank You,Sir,For Showing that Super Bike👍👍👍👍👍

👍♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️

Nice machine

Even the lightweights were heavy in those days.

Lot of money for a bitza

Lovely bike but sorry to say i'm a Norton man ❤️💪👍😉😀😁🏁🏍️🛺🐑🇵🇭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Bloody love it proper motorcycle dealership full of intresting things from yesteryear

There is nothing like an English thumper.

Lovely.

Girder models always very stylish I think. Lovely centrepiece of an engine too.

Lovely old bike. Sunbeams were always considered a cut above the rest, this one shows why.

Wonderful must buy a lottery ticket tomorrow.

Very nice sporty position of those silencers at the back, tucked in quite low which is strange for bikes this period! Lovely! Magnificent tick-over

I once bought one for ten quid as one of four bikes in a shed clearance of four bikes for ten quid. I had another one for thirty quid when a mate moved house, had that one for thirty years.

Great machine "Made in Bristol".

Looks nice, sounds nice, goes nice. What a lovely old bike.

Brillant looking machine,at a very reasonable price .

Hi Peter very nice bike. my name is also Peter Ranson I live in Tasmania Australia I own a 1954 matchless G9 and 1978 triumph t140E. Love my British bikes

Sounds Superb. And what a simple and desirable machine the B31 is. ❤

I had the same bike, 1960 T100A with the bath tub and distributor ignition. My first big bike, bought it in Cornwall in 1967. I’m pretty sure they had capacitor discharge ignition which kind of worked like a magneto even though it was coil ignition. The 500s were smoother than the 650s. That bike looks very original apart from the electronic ignition.

Lovely bikes, I had one the same but brush painted blue. Used to commute 40 miles a day on it, never let me down. Did about 80 miles to the gallon. Only weakness was the front brake, a bit too small for the weight. I fitted the front wheel off an A10 with the 8" brake, drops straight in.
