1960 BSA Gold Star 350cc, registration number VNY 41, frame number CB32 9784 (1960), engine number DB.32.GS.1506 (1959). Where to start with the iconic Goldie? To start the story, we go back to 1937, when Wal Handley came out of retirement to ride a three-lap race for BSA at Brooklands. Winning the race, with a fastest lap of 107.5mph, Wal earned himself the Gold Star (awarded for race laps in excess of 100mph) and with it launched the Gold Star marque. The following year saw the first of the production Gold Stars, the M24, complete with the trademark alloy barrel and cylinder head. The engines were built from individually selected parts and bench tested, a practice that was to remain throughout its life. The machine, an instant 'good-looker' and a bargain at £82, was capable of 90mph performance though possibly without the handling to match, and pre-war production was restricted to under 500 machines. Post war, BSA launched the ZB32 in 1948 at a price of £211. In order to satisfy the eligibility requirements for the Clubmans TT, over 100 machines were produced, 21 of which were entered into the 1949 350cc junior race, a race to be dominated by Gold Stars for the next eight years. The 350CC model was followed by the 500cc ZB34. 1953 saw the introduction of the BB series (BB32-350cc/BB34-500cc) with new duplex cradle frame and swinging arm rear suspension. These were followed in 1954 by the CB series with engine changes aimed primarily at the road racers. Immediate success was achieved in the Clubmans TT and this cycle of engine redesign and immediate success was repeated the following year with the DB series. Towards the end the Gold Star was only offered in scrambles, or Clubmans trim. In 1963 Lucas ceased to produce the magneto used in the B series, which was a prime reason that BSA and Triumph reconfigured their pre-unit-construction parallel twins into engines with integral gearboxes, simultaneously converting the ignition system from magneto to battery and coil. The Gold Star was not considered for progression to unit-construction, and instead the 250cc BSA C15 was developed (via the B40) into the 500cc B50. This example has been owned by our vendor since May 1988 who acquired it from a Peter Widlake of Fleet in Hampshire, he had owned it since November 1978. For many years it was in need of restoration and this was undertaken during 2010/2011 resulting in the Clubman trim example you now see here with many desirable options, it has a Superleggia alloy top yoke, RRT2 gearbox, Dunlop alloy rims, a lighter alloy petrol tank, GP carburettor, 190 front wheel and a 10 degree advanced timing pinion. Unused since the restoration she may need a gentle recommissioning to be put on the road and is only being sold as he has a 500cc Goldie that he prefers riding and several other projects on the go, along with a potential house move. Sold with the V5C.
