Classic cars forum & vehicle restoration.

Given how the coachwork is in the main solid, and it has a rebuilt engine, the following BSA saloon of the mid-1930s is eminently restorable.

I like the look of the car, don't see many BSA's around.

I think the vendor is confusing Mulliners of Birmingham an entirely seperate firm to Mulliners of London who were rather more upmarket by some way.
The Birmingham firm generally bodied the cheaper ranges from Daimler (who by now owned Lanchester as well as BSA) with largely pressed steel bodies. I doubt this cars body is coachbuilt in the traditional way. BSA cars of the period were Daimlers low priced economy range.
This is a typical small six of the period with all the low gearing buzziness and heavy fuel consumtion usual. Micheal Sedgwick regarded these models as representing the manufacturers "nadir in terms of gutless refinement". Also beware as I think these engines were fixed head making maintenance more difficult.
Certainly rare but not really very desirable or nice to own.
