Hey - how the heck did I miss this entire thread? @Jim - you must have bought this cool old beezer right after I was at your place to grab my tins and you didn't even mention it on the phone today!
Anyhow, she sure like like a great bike and remarkably complete and clean (from the photos I have looked at) - and as others have said, after you wave your magic wand at her, she'll sparkle!
As an aside, there is an older Brit in my vintage bike club who has at least two BSA Gold Stars (late 50's I think) - both immaculate and a third that he is restoring. They are great bikes - loud and pretty darned fast too.
This one rates a solid - watching with great interest!
Pete
