The BSA Empire Star range were built to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of King George V. Built between 1936 to 1939, the range consisting of 250cc, 350cc and 500cc motorcycles, advertised as masterpieces of motorcycle engineering.
The 500cc Empire Star was later developed into the famous 500 Gold Star. A 500 Empire Star completed in a 500 mile endurance race at Brooklands and later a 1,000 mile tour of England, without breakdown. Surviving machines are highly sought after by collectors and museums.
This super 1938 250cc Empire Star has been in the same ownership for many years, lovingly maintained and stored carefully. After servicing it will be ready to be enjoyed once more.
