The 1950s was a boom time for the moped - a 'no frills' utility machine that offered basic transport for the masses. The Dandy, BSA's entry into this highly competitive market, was over engineered to say the least. The single-cylinder two-stroke engine formed the right-hand side of the swinging arm, pivoting on the frame; no bad thing in itself, but the contact breaker points were inaccessible until the engine had been removed, while the two-speed pre-selector gearbox was an unnecessary expense on a machine that had to compete with NSU's less complicated Quickly. Currently displaying a total of 6,019 miles on the Smiths odometer, this restored Dandy carries a tax disc that expired in May 1968, which is almost certainly when it was last used on the road. The machine is offered with the original RF60 logbook, an expired MoT (1967), and old-style V5 document incorrectly recording the make as 'Triumph'.
