Rare
series four two-seater; front wheel drive; roof frame included; owned by
our vendors family since 2011
The BSA Scout is a small open two-seater front-wheel drive
car, manufactured and sold by subsidiaries of The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited,
launched at the beginning of April 1935.
Described by Autocar as ‘undoubtedly one of the
best-looking small cars in existence’, the Scout had front-wheel drive and a low
centre of gravity which gave it remarkably stable handling compared to rivals
like the Riley Nine and the MG Midget.
In the last few years, the colour of the car has been changed from
red to blue, but the V5C has not been updated yet. This can be done
when the change of keeper is carried out to the new
owner.
The car was transported to us and we have not attempted to start it,
but the engine does turn over and looks complete.
Included in the sale is the convertible roof frame which will need
covering and refitting (a very rare part to find if it was
missing).
