The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. Probably the most sought-after models produced by BSA are the Gold Star range of 350 and 500cc singles and the rare Rocket Gold Star 650cc twin of the late '50s early '60s.

This beautifully presented DBD34 Goldie has been restored to a very high standard in Clubmans trim. It has the period correct Amal GP carb, 120MPH speedo, 8K redline tacho, 190mm front brake and an RRT2 stamped gearbox. Currently fitted with a standard chrome and silver petrol tank with its distinctive red BSA badge and a standard dual seat, included in the sale is an alloy tank and race-style single seat. Purchased by the vendor in 2012 and kept in his small private collection since, he successfully competed in the 2015 Loch Ness Rally winning the Best of British class. Prior to his ownership the engine had an extensive overhaul by Phil Pearson including a new crank with Carillo rod in 1998 at a cost of £1,950 and further work, including a re-lined cylinder with a new forged piston and valves in 2003 at a cost of £350. It is supplied with a dating letter, receipts from Phil Pearson and a current V5C. It's an excellent example of one of the most iconic British bikes from the heyday of motorcycling.
