I'm going to say 1952 6T, with a bit of extra flash. The fender stays, toolbox and centrestand would never be that shiny. And the cases look a bit over-polished. But I bike I'd give me left one to own.

The BSA??  '67 or '68 Spitfire. Need to see the brake to be sure.

This is a '52 Vincent Touring Rapide, same engine as the Vincent Black Lightning of TE Lawrence fame. Seeing it was like seeing a ghost. I've read The Seven Pillars of Wisdom and I have to admit, he was a bastard Brit of the highest order, an extraordinary person.

If the bike is the same year as the tail lamp it's a 1950 6t thunderchicken
that taillight only came on the 1950 model 1st year .

I have a 1950 6t right here in my garage  :D  :shock:

The blue 6t above is close to the right color for a 1950 but not quite , the original blue was butt ugly and most US dealers repainted them Black with Gold pinstripes on the fenders before they even sold them .
