After World War 2 BSA were quick to restart production of civilian machines and as early as August 1945 BSA announced a four model programme. An all-new machine within that range was the ZB31. an overhead valve single of 350cc capacity with a rugged design. The ZB32 announced early in 1946 was the competition version of that ZB31 bike with an all-new sporting appearance. high level exhaust system and much chrome plating. The new B32 Competition was tested off-road by Motor Cycling magazine. emerging with flying colours. The model remained in production from 1947 to 1957.
