Just ‘treated’ myself to this beauty. I know all the history/owners and the chap I bought it from had it for 63 years…..

Well spotted sir! It is indeed…
Here is my old DBD34 that Smudger (Steve) in the foreground brought back to life a hew years back. That is Brian in the background who originally owned the DBD32 that Steve now owns
It's the circle of life
Thats a stunner Steve , what a sound it will make when given the berries, enjoy.
People talk about bucket lists. Blimey, before you die, would you not like, just once, to ride a goldie?
Simply 
I did own one back in the day.
Sold it for £110, 'cos that's what they were worth at the time.
Thanks Steve. I recommissioned it yesterday (check for spark, drain crankcase, check oil, add fuel) and it didn’t have a spark. Cleaned and gapped the points, and she ‘barked’ into life for the first time in about 3 yrs after the second or third kick, what a sound!
Brian was the cameraman again when it started yesterday Paul…View attachment 383942

This is the second owner, my neighbour Brian. The first owner, Reg, is sadly no longer with us but I knew of him. Brian had the bike from January 1962-May 1962. He then sold it to the chap I bought it from…
That's in lovely condition that
And a Sunbeam S7 and S8 in the background too
That’s a cracker
Looking good there Steve,bet you're looking forward to putting a few miles on it

Watch your fingers when checking the oil feed return. That Amal will rip em off and feed em to the engine, along with any small birds flying by
Brilliant that is lovely
