Hello my friends,
I am very proud to play with you.
I would like to know the year of release of my "french police" BSA A7, frame N° EA7.2678.
Many thanks for your help, keep safe.
EA7-101 onwards is listed as 1956 but for 1957 BSA just says EA7- . So it seems the EA7 covers both 1956 and 1957.
Many thanks for your reply Dereck996.
How can I prove the origin (1956/1957) to the French administration ? Is there a document of the numbers by years of production ?
Kind regards.
Hello Rene,
looking at the BSA dispatch books.
Frame EA7.2678 was fitted with engine CA7.3467, and dispatched to Marea, Paris, (the French importers) on 05/01/1956
It was in the colour of Black and was an A7 swinging arm model.
regards
Andy Lorenz
Super Andy !
Hello René,
If French authorities do not think that Andy's information is enough, have a look at the BSAOC website where you will find the instructions to get a 'Dating Certificate'. This document is recognised by the UK authorities so should be acceptable in France.

welcome Rene,
I can confirm, I picked up a B40 no UK paperwork as imported in from America.
the dating certificate was applied for from our registrar, returned, paperwork filled in for UK licence and registration.
within a couple of weeks the title was returned with alloted registration number.
nice simple process, hope the French authorities will accept the correct records.
Thank you very much for these valuable tips.
I'm not sure I can use them, because in France it is very, very, difficult to change something on a "carte-grise".
So, i will keep mine, with "1975" date of registration ... !
One last question, I have one crankcase noted CA7.8651, (1961 ?) Can I know his history ?
Have a nice sunday !
The answer is normally no unless the engine was the one that was fitted to the frame you have when it came out of the factory - a dating certificate for the frame number would confirm whether this is the original engine. I know some BSA engine and frame numbers were matched but I'm not sure this applies to a 1961 model?
I assure you, it was only a detail.
Best regards.
Hello René
I have sent you a personal message with information about your engine.
Many thanks for your reply.
Hug !
