The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham 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. There were only about 1300 genuine Rocket Gold Stars made and they normally command a very high price but authentic-looking replicas can be made using an A10 as a starting point fitted with a few distinctive Goldie items.
