The BSA factory was established in Birmingham during 1861 and initially manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later and would go on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles. Probably the most sought-after models produced are the Gold Star range of 350 and 500cc singles and the rare Rocket Gold Star 650cc twin of the late ‘50s early '60s and they normally command a very high price, however, a number of authentic-looking replicas have also been built by their owners.

First supplied as a 350cc B31, this attractive Gold Star Evocation has been in the UK from new and was first registered during April 1955. The late enthusiast owner and father of the vendor subjected the machine to a full overhaul and uprated a number of the components to Gold Star specification during his ownership, which included the fitment of clubmans trim drop bars, alloy mudguards and the iconic chrome plated fuel tank. Upon inspection the impressive looking BSA appeared to be in a good running condition and presented excellently, with the vendor having recently recommissioned and cleaned the machine in preparation for sale.
