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 BSA Gold Star is restored to concourse standard. Owned by Colin Wall from the National Motorcycle Museums chief restorer. Owned by the museum from 1974 until 2004, purchased in 2004, and restored by colin in 2018. Since completion, it has been fired up but will need running in before use. Featured in Classic British Motor Cycles by Bob Curry.
