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 DBD34 Goldie has undergone a full restoration over the last couple of years to a very high standard. Rebuilt with a view to making the bike more ridable, it is presented in touring trim with a standard gearbox, a Mikuni carb and most importantly a Phil Pearson electric starter kit. Phil also carried out a full engine rebuild including a new crank, piston, Triumph clutch and a magneto overhaul. The frame has been powder coated, the wheels rebuilt with stainless Hagon rims and spokes, new Dunlop tyres fitted, new mudguards, new fuel tank, new battery and more or less all fasteners replaced with stainless. The vendor says he has invested thousands in the bike and is only selling it due to impending repair work needing carrying out on his house. A full photographic record of the restoration has been kept and the vendor reports it starts on the button and comes with a current V5C.
