in 1861 Birmingham Small Arms is formed "to manufacture guns by machinery".
In 1906, the first motorcycles are produced.
At its zenith, the plant covers 1,142,000 square feet and employs 12,000.
By 1977, the Small Heath factory is demolished and it's molds are destroyed.

in 1967, based on Jeff Smith's bored C15, Small Heath delivers a 441cc production machine.
Produced in a number of variations, the Victor Special is made for less than three years. This unlikely dual-purpose machine manages to sell-out each year.
   B44 VS ...
is delivered with an Amal Concentric and the usual Lucas Prince of Darkness" electrical nightmare.
These pages are dedicated to the Victor Special and the individuals who strive to keep it roadworthy.
