The culmination of development for the Gold Star was the DBD series. Only ever offered as a 500, the new version was introduced for the 1956 season and initially being offered in parallel with the DB range, although by 1957 the DB's had been dropped from the range, the 500 version permanently, the 350 temporarily, returning to the range in 1959.
Like its predecessors the DBD 34 was offered in trials, scrambles, road, racing and Clubman's form and was supported by an extensive range of optional parts.
Although the Goldie was successful in all branches of competition, the most iconic variant is without doubt the Clubman's version.
This example of the Clubman variant was restored during 1996 by Steve Tonkin and is described as being in very good condition throughout. Finished in black and silver and equipped with alloy rims and the optional 190mm front brake it has appeared in "The Classic Motorcycle " and is offered with a Swansea V5C and an original buff logbook.
PLEASE NOTE: The frame number published in the catalogue should be prefixed CB not EB as shown. The engine number on the machine is DBD34GS6982.
