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 bike is part of a deceased estate, so unfortunately not much is known of its history. It was bought by the vendor in 1993 as a Rocket Gold Star (RGS), however, we are not sure the frame and engine numbers are correct, so we are describing it as a replica. The stamped frame number of GA10 300 was despatched on 19 July, 1962 to Colebrooks of Jersey, but the engine number DA10R 13261 is too high to be an RGS number and could originally have been DA10 13261, a 1960 A10 engine. The frame appears to be the correct and the bike has all the other distinctive RGS parts, including a Lucas racing mag, RRT2 stamped gearbox, rear-set footrest, 120mph speedo, '8000' Tacho and Dunlop alloy rims. It is accompanied by a spare 190mm front brake. It does have a V5C, however, having been stood for a number of years, it will need recommissioning.
