BSA cars were manufactured between 1907 and 1912 in Birmingham,
then until 1939 in both Coventry and Birmingham. BSA had
established a motor-car department in an unsuccessful effort to
make use of the Sparkbrook Birmingham factory, an independent part
of the same site was occupied by The Lanchester Motor Company
Limited. After 1912, manufacture was carried out by group
subsidiary Daimler in Coventry or BSA Cycles in Birmingham. BSA
brand ownership eventually passed to Tata Motors, after their
purchase of Jaguar Cars. Jaguar had previously purchased Daimler
Motor Company, a legal challenge halted the creation of a
BSA-badged car to be made in China, the case only applies to cars,
not other products, such as bikes
This delightful BSA Peerless coupé is thought to be one of only 3 manufactured and one of only two bodies built by 'Coventry Motor and Sundries Co Ltd'. A recent two year chassis up restoration-including a new ash frame- has resulted in this BSA having a new lease of life for many years to come. The engine and gearbox were also overhauled, together with new glass, some re-chroming, new wiring and new tyres; the original blue leather seats have been retained offering a splendid patina to the interior. Supplied with a V5 registration document and an MoT test certificate valid until 18<sup>th</sup> September 2013, the original buff logbook showing the WD7856 index plate the car still retains today, together with a history file. An interesting pre-war car at an affordable price.
