1953 BSA A10 Golden Flash Classic Vintage motorcycle Close-up View

Here is a gorgeous 1953 A10 Golden Flash displayed at the VME Vintage Motorcycle Enthusiasts show in Seattle. "Close up view" at "The Shop".
The golden Flash was the first model in the BSA A10 series, it was available in black and chrome.
But it was the distinctive golden paint scheme that gave the golden flash its name. 80% of these models were produced for export to the United States, leaving British buyers with extensively long waitlists.
Although never designed as a sport motorcycle, the Golden Flash was nonetheless fast for its time and competitive with the Triumph Tiger 100 achieving over 100 mph (160 kph) in tests in 1950 and covering a standing quarter-mile (400 m) in under 16 seconds.
Its gold color proved a marketing success, outselling Triumph Speed twin and 6T Thunderbird. Production continued until 1963 when it was superseded by the BSA A65 STAR.

Beautiful machine ,I have restored a 1950 A10 plunger for my own use and I love it. but the steel strap under the front of the petrol tank between the two tank studs seems to be missing, most people believe these are redundant tank mounts but they are in fact to strengthen the tank to stop it flexing which could develop a leak, nearly every one I see has this strap missing and it's pretty important. As I said this is a beautiful machine.
