Title: SOLVED: si_061 - BSA-Hotchkiss - Three-Wheeler - 1929-1936

Another vehicle with one wheel too few.
Manufactorer, model designation and period of manufacture for one point.

I beleive this to be the chassis of a BSA three wheeled car built between 1929 and 1936. power was a1021cc Hotchkiss designed engine. The model designation is unclear but I suspect it is a 'Standard' model.

You are right about BSA and Hotchkiss engine. Locked for you to find the model designation.

Is it a Van Chassis? The rear part of the chassis looks different to the passenger vehicle. (although advertised for sale I don't think any vans were actually made)

You think too complicated, the only thing missing is the model destignation.

Sorry I can find no reference to a BSA with that Chassis shape. Please unlock for someone else to have a go.

It's a pity you want to give up. Why don't you let my last remark melt on your tongue? You get one more attempt for that.

Johno, that is your point!! I was of the opinion that it was a BSA TW 32. You already had doubts that it is a regular version for passenger transport trades. Lavrakas pointed out the short side members via PM to me, thank you! So it shall be a prototype. Johno and lavrakas, thanks for your doubts, they have solved the puzzle and made me smarter. In the picture below you can see the side members of the series version.
