The Dale Winfield Motorcycle Collection, c.1961 BSA 500CC DBD34 Gold Star

The Dale Winfield Motorcycle Collection
c.1961 BSA 500CC DBD34 Gold Star
Registration no. TMS 558
Frame no. CB32.11056 (restamped)
Engine no. DBD.34.GS.6410.

This BSA Gold Star was despatched new to J Forrester & Co Ltd of Falkirk, Scotland and first registered on 6th October 1961 to a Mr John McDougall of Campsie Glen. The BSA was taxed between 1961 and 1965 (see original RF.60 logbook on file). 'TMS 558' appears to have had only four private owners by the time the logbook was cancelled, the last listed being Roy Coyle of Canterbury, who was the Goldie's owner by 1983 and probably had acquired it circa 1965. The machine was purchased for the collection in 1993 and is believed to have had only five owners from new (see photocopied V5 registration documents and V5C on file). 'DBD34 GS 6410' is new to the Gold Star Owners' Club. It should be noted that the frame is an earlier CB32 type, dating from circa August 1960, that has been restamped to match the logbook.

The odometer reading is only 3 miles, which is believed to be the distance covered since restoration. Notable features include an Amal GP2 carburettor; Dunlop flanged alloy wheel rims; matching Smiths instruments; clip-on handlebars; rear-set footrests; Doherty grips; and some modern fastenings. It should be noted that the engine will not turn over via the kickstart, possibly because the RRT2 gearbox is stuck in gear. Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require recommissioning or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Key not required.
