DBD 34 with an RRT2 Gearbox and inch and a half Amal GP with bellmouth.
Old Coney will translate..

And I'll have one one day.

Well I'll have a go.. its a BSA Goldie (Gold Star) with a close ratio racing gearbox which I think was originally used on the 350cc bike, but I'm not sure, it had a very high first gear and consequently an appetite for clutches, the Amal is a bigger (Racing) carb and the bellmouth is a carb induction trumpet...There how did I do ?

I wont mention that the RRT2 gearbox had a reverse cam plate plunger...I researched that bit  :oops: :mfr_lol:

Any way Wiltsguy here's one I photographed at the Antrim show in Northern Ireland in 2009

DRIBBLE DRIBBLE BOY  :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:

Ten out of ten OC.
Back in the 80's I found one in the back of a dealers warehouse in the desert in Nevada, still in a wooden crate wrapped up just as it left the Small Heath factory in 1960. Guy wanted $20,000 and I was poor back then.
Wonder what it's worth now.
