Another BSA for Brendan - BSA B40 Project

Brendan has a new project.  A BSA B40 bought from Wakefield.  Below are some photographs sent by John Earp.  John went with Brendan to Wakefield to look at a 1965 BSA B40 350cc single listed on eBay.

We look forward to seeing the finished project in one of our events.
