BSA A65 Spitfire Mark III description

Up for your consideration is this beautiful matching numbers Mark III Spitfire.  What a fun bike to ride, with incredible looks to boot.  This bike has been well maintained, and is mostly original. The aluminum tanks paint was said to be original, but it is in such great shape, I almost find that hard to believe. I know a lot about these old bikes, but I am no expert. For your knowledge, the tank badges are decals that are over the tank, not in clear coat.  Don't know what this means, but do know that the 2 gallon aluminum tank was a stateside option back then. The side covers are fiberglass as they should be and appear to be in original paint.  Amal concentric carbs, 12V system, etc all appears to be original with a wire upgraded here or there for the Electronic Ignition that's been added. (Boyer Bransden) Also, the bike has brand new Dunlop K70's on original aluminum Borrani rims. Sweetness.  I have provided plenty of photos including a video so you should be able to make your own assessments.  Aside from the clubman handlebars, mostly everything appears to be original.  It is shown here, one kick starting right up, after sitting for the last few days.  It's always a one kicker from cold, and usually from hot as well.  I did tickle the carbs before I started this video, just for the savings of time, as I am not a video editor.  This one is a runner and rider.  The Smiths both need re-worked, but all other electronics, switches, lights, are in excellent working order, just as they should be. Starts, runs, shifts, and stops, just as it should. Again, it's a real-deal matching frame/engine/title numbers 1967 Spitfire.  I see some others on here that have a bunch of corny parts on them, are listed as years where they didn't even make the Spitfire, etc.  This one is the real-deal.  Please ask any and all questions before purchasing. 8654401090.  I hate to part with this one, and really want to see it go to a great home.  It's a beautiful vintage bike is excellent operating condition.  As always, thanks for looking, and have a great day!  Best,  Josh
