Retained by its previous owner's family for some four decades
In a private collection a few years ago
Will require recommissioning before use
The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in 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. Some adaptation to create ‘scramblers’ was quite common.

This wonderful BSA scrambler machine is based upon a BB32 Gold Star and was in the previous owner's family for over forty years. The current vendor has had the machine in his private collection since purchased. Last run in the summer of 2022, we are told it will likely be in need of recommissioning before use. This is a very striking BSA and ideal for pre-65 trials and scrambles. It comes complete with a current V5C.
