The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in 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 were the Gold Star range of 350 and 500cc singles and the rare Rocket Gold Star 650cc twin of the late '50s/ early '60s, the Gold Star the most replicated of them all.
On offer is a 1954 BSA 350cc Gold Star replica, this machine is based around a 1954 BSA B31 frame with a standard gearbox and a BSA BB32 Gold Star engine. It appears the BB32 engine was fitted to the frame around 1974/5, according to the continuation logbook. Sadly, not much history is known from when the late vendor purchased the machine, but appears that some work has been carried out. It is offered as a restoration project requiring checking over before use. The BSA comes complete with a DVLA V5C, an old RF60 logbook, a continuation logbook and an old MOT certificate from 1977.
