BSA light carFrom behind it looked just like a Morgan (exact same red as a Morgan owned by a cousin in the late 1950s) outside Andy Tiernan's in Framlingham but the full wings threw us.  A BSA three wheeler ... "Bloody Sore Arse" said Andy "I can't get into 'em" and proved it by getting in but having quite a struggle toAndy Tiernan get out again.  The wings are the whim of a previous owner and should be motorcycle type mudguards, the v-twin engine is reportedly based on a seven cylinder aero engine and we recognised the instrument panel ... from a Morris 8?  If you're interested Andy has another BSA in stock but this one did go for £10,000 and would have brought twice that if it were a Morgan.

Motorcycle combination taxi for hire

Cog drive for speedo on BSA motorcycle taxiThis exquisite BSA motorcycle combination TAXI (thanks for the pic Trev) has been flaunting itself this week outside Andy Tiernan's in Framlingham.  It has been restored with a devotion that almost makes your skin crawl, the slot screws and cup washers holding inBSA taxi interior place the chair's trim have been sprayed to match the interior and show no signs of being screwed in.  Despite the combination's stunning elegance Trev opines it must be a beggar to drive; two separate throttles (one for air, one for petrol), manual advance and retard, manual gate shift gear lever on top of the petrol tank, manual control of oil pressure via a glass and twiddler, and the very early electric headlamp is as useless as the rear brake.

1940s Hanomag in FramlinghamThis curiously dumpy vehicle was outside Andy Tiernan's in Framlingham this afternoon.  Though it came from Romania it's a 1940's German Hanomag with a 2 litre diesel engine and a top speed of 12mph as it was intended for towing things ... which is why the hefty old diff has got its own sump.
