What type of motorbike is this please

[Roger The Hat]

Jus' my 'umble opinion, not being a h'expert........

I think the underslung petrol tank predates the handlebars, forks and engine.

I'm wondering if it's a "bitsa", or assembled from the parts of several different machines?

  Hi 'Hat

I reckon it's all over the shop too. Pity, I was hoping to be able to tell my dad what it was as a surprise. Oh well...

Try the BSA Owners club in Australia - they may be more familiar with what was exported. The square tank and girders look 10 years older than the 1934 date to me.

Just a thought, how about contacting the local vehicle registration authority at .........

They may still have some historical records.

We used to live in Wickham, WA in 73-76.  My late husband restored a G14, looked fairly similar but it had a larger V engine, now back in the UK in my brothers spare bedroom! It was what they called a "Colonial model"  -  with a few differences to the usual UK models.  One of the differences was a gear change lever on the tank, rather than foot pedal. 

I'm sure if you go to Google UK and then go to the BSA Owners Club you should find the answer.  My brother won't be back home for a couple of months, but I'll ask him when I see him next.
