1955 BSA DB32 GOLDSTAR

350cc FACTORY BIKE WITH ORIGINAL BSA FACTORY REGISTRATION NUMBER 148 GOV, WHICH HAS BEEN MAINLY ON 6 DAY ISDT BIKES.

THIS MACHINE WAS DISPATCHED TO COMERFORDS, THAMES DITTON 10th MAY 1955 AND WE BELIEVE WAS USED IN THE 1955 TT AT THE ISLE OF MAN AND CARRIED FOR SOME TIME UNTIL DECEMBER 1981 THE REGISTRATION NUMBER BSA 350 WHICH WAS TRANSFERRED OFF THE MACHINE TO ONLY BE TRANSFERRED BACK ON IN NOVEMBER 1982, IN DECEMBER 1982 IT WAS SOLD AND STAYED IN THIS MANS POSSESSION UNTIL 29.10.1996 IN AUGUST 1997 THE OWNER SWAPPED REG NUMBER BSA 350 AND PUT THE NUMBER  HIS ISDT  BSA WORKS BIKE AND PUT THE 148 GOV ONTO HIS BSA 350 GOLDSTAR. IN MY OPINION THESE NUMBERS NEED TRANSFERRING BACK.

THE BIKE WAS THEN SOLD IN 1998 AND THEN 9 YEARS LATER, IN 2007 WAS SOLD TO THE PREVIOUS KEEPER. ALL THE OWNERSHIP DETAILS ARE CLEARLY DOCUMENTED IN A LARGE FILE FROM THE DVLA RECORDS DEPARTMENT WHICH SHOWS THE FULL HISTORY OF THIS MACHINE WITH COPIES OF THE REGISTRATION DOCUMENTS, V5s ETC. OLD MOT's. A POTTED HISTORY FILE AND EVEN A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL ENGINE BRAKE TEST CARRIED OUT ON 22.04.1955 WHICH SHOWS IT WAS TO CLUBMANS GRAND PRIX SPEC.AN ORIGINAL GOLDSTAR OWNERS CLUB CERTIFICATE.

THE MACHINE NOW IS RUNNING WELL AND IN 1981 I ACTUALLY TRIED TO BUY THIS BIKE AND THE LATE JOHN GARDINER, GOLD STAR EXPERT,ASSURED ME THIS WAS THE 1955 IOM TT BIKE RUN WITH FACTORY ASSISTANCE.
