1962 BSA B40 Classic Motorcycle Pictures
The Birmingham Small Arms Firm Limited (BSA) was a major British professional combine, several businesses manufacturing armed service and sporting firearms; cycles; motorcycles; cars; buses and bodies; steel; iron ordonnance; hand, power, and machine tools; coal cleaning and handling plants; sintered materials; and hard chrome process.
In its peak, BSA (who also owned Triumph) was the most significant bike producer in the world. Back in the 1952s and early 1960s poor management and failure to develop new products in the motorcycle division contributed to a dramatic fall of sales to the major USA market. The management had failed to appreciate the value of the resurgent Japanese motorcycle industry, leading to problems for the complete BSA group.
A government-organised rescue procedure in 1973 led to the takeover of remaining functions with what is now Manganese Dureté Holdings, then owners of Norton-Villiers, and over the following decade further closures and dispersals. The first company, The Birmingham Small Biceps and triceps Company Limited, remains a subsidiary of Manganese Fermeté but its name was changed in 1987.
Manganese Bronze continues to operate former BSA subsidiary Carbodies, now known as LTI Limited, manufacturers of London, uk Taxicabs and formerly the major wholly British-owned car manufacturer. (Manganese Bronze is now owned by the Chinese company Geely).
