1936 W6 Work in progress. Many thanks to Ed V, Doug W, and the BB Forum members.

Could someone here tell the model and year of this BSA?

Thanks

I just bought me a project. This 1959 M21 has been stored outside for the last 5 years. The picture does not show the condition. Sadly it is very rusted. The engine turns over, but there is no spark and no petrol enters the cylinder. The first bad sign is that it came with a spare engine. Sadly the owner has passed away, so I am starting from scratch. I have never restored a classic bike, so bear with me for asking silly questions.

Firstly I want it in running order. Hopefully this forum can advise me on my journey!

I cant even figure out how to post a picture, but Ill submit this reply anyway.

I don' t think it is a good idea to try to get an engine running that' s been stored outside for several years...
Personally, I' d take it apart.

My Thunderbolt from 1964 and my freshly restored B31 from 1950.
Both in good running condition
