The Clive Wood MBE Collection
1953 BSA 349cc BB32 Gold Star
Registration no. JUX 519
Frame no. BB32A504
Engine no. BB32.GS.1045
The motorcycle with frame number 'BB32A.504' was despatched from the factory twice: for the first time on 29th June 1953 to a dealer in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire. The machine was returned to BSA (possibly due to a cancelled order?) and despatched for a second time to Fron Purslow in Shrewsbury, Shropshire on 7th July 1953. It was recorded as being in Clubman's trim on both occasions. The registration 'JUX 519' relates to Shropshire for the period June/July/August 1953. Fron Purslow was a well-known racer of the period, competing in the Isle of Man TT on numerous occasions, and also owned another dealership in Wellington. Engine number 'BB32GS 1045' started life in another machine, despatched in road trim to dealers Cope in Birmingham on 29th December 1953. The machine has the standard gearbox.
Acquired by the late vendor in May 2006, this BB32 Goldie is an older restoration offered for recommissioning of further renovation (the engine turns). It should be noted that the speedometer and rev counter are missing. Accompanying documentation includes a quantity of Gold Star Owners Club Newsletters; assorted GSOC paperwork; expired MoTs and tax disc (2007); old-style V5C Registration Certificate; HPI/DVLA check sheets; and hand-written details of a professional engine rebuild (undated).
All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
