Thanks for posting this series of fascinating films.
I does make me very annoyed that arrogant complacency ensured that all the old British manufacturers failed.

At 2pm on Sunday 25th October 2009, a Blue Plaque will be unveiled at 8 Philip Walk , Peckham, London SE15 to commemorate Edward Turner, the MD of Triumph motorcycles, who lived and worked there- ALL INVITED !
hell yes.Norton commando and a new superbike with wankel engine (some say about 170 hp / 130 kg)
Yep and Norton’s back with a tidy looking range!
Too bad there are no more serious British car/motorcycle companies left….No one can match the soul of these machines
Yep this country did lead the world in most fields, but alas no investment where it counted..Now we buy shite from China, and have to put up with it we are becoming the third world slowly..
This film looks like it was produced in the 40′s or 50′s. Was it? Triumphs are the best of the Brit bikes.
Yep : ( A so-called service industry nation now…. and very poor services at that !!!!!!!!!
Now thats not exactly what you’d call ‘mass production’, is it?
While us Brits were employing labour intensive methods such as the selective assembly of gears and trueing the frames by hand, the Japs were busy developing mass produced bikes that would take over the world.
Speaking as a forty-something Engineer that ended up having to move from his homeland, I mourn the passing of when Britain used to actually produce real products.
I love Japanese and British bikes .
Yep, typical English upper/middle class miss-management…
this company was let down by its owners who trousered all the profits and put nothing in development to fight against the japanese
This was really an interesting film, English craft, I value. Thank you very much.
Looking at the design on the tank, the fact they’re swinging rear arm suspension with plungers and pre-unit engines sometime around 1955 – 56 I reckon.
Respect for an old brand like Triumph from a Guzzista.
The BSA factory as is( or was a couple of years back) was at Southampton…manufacturing,I believe light weight export japanese engined bike of around 100/125cc. The had on display in their window the “Yamaha” engined *Gold Star* 400cc i think but what ever happened to the 800cc engined bike they publicised … I think it was powered by a Puma grass track twin cylinder engine … maybe someone could film one and put it on YouTube so we can all enjoy the view even if it never makes production !
