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. The singles especially lent themselves to competition use and many saw use in road race or off road events.

This 1956 350 is presented in authentic 1950s specification and is fitted with the all alloy BB32A Clipper competition engine. It is possibly an ex-works bike ridden by Arthur Lampkin, but unfortunately, we have no documentary evidence to prove this. The bike has been run recently and comes supplied with a current V5C.
