"Scouting in South Africa"
I feel that it is time that some notice was taken of the BS.A. Scout. Seven months ago I became the third owner of a 1990 Scout 4-seater, mileage 12,000,
brief history of the car to that date:- A The first owner apparently did not know much about the critical running- in period, because within a week he left for East London. At 10,000 miles, the car was sold and the second owner took full advantage of the amazing cornering abilities of the car, for he through two fairly good front tyres in 2,000 miles. After all this bad handling, however, she managed to come second in a local handicap race at the Grosvenor Grand Prix track. A Scout also finished frat, and we both reached maximum speeds of well over. 70 m.p.h. (speedometer readings).
in
In The Motor of November 30 you published an article entitled "Maintaining the Maximum." Well, hera is something which compares fairly favourably with the Mercedes mentioned: Quite recently the Scout, with two up and some luggage, completed a journey of 76 miles (two passes included) mostly byer badly corrugated roads, in 1 hr. 45 mins. In one place 10 ra.p.h. was maintained for about six miles.
would be interested to know if any other reader could name a car priced up to £250 in England that would be able to stand up to the treatment that this ar has had without any replacements whatever.. At 20,000 miles 1 decided to have the engine rebored and the big-ends remetalled. It was necessary to fit a new second gear as i had run the gearbox without oil for about 200 miles. I have no connection or interest in the B.8.A concern whatever.
