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 of the late 50s early 60s.

This rare 1955 350cc DBD32 model has been fully restored and is presented in full Clubman trim including an RRT2 gearbox, Amal GP carb and alloy rims. A belt primary drive conversion has been fitted at a cost of nearly £500 and the bike has been started recently by the vendor. The numbers have been checked by the Gold Star Owners Club and their records show that frame number 5584 was dispatched to J N Taylor & Co in Adelaide in road racing trim on 3rd July 1956 and the engine number 923 to Difazio, Somerset in Clubman trim on 24 April 1956 in a CB32 5000-sequence frame. Presumably, as a former race bike its has had an engine swap at some time in its history. The bike comes together with numerous receipts for parts bought during the restoration together with some old MOTs and a current V5C.
