In 1937,
Wal Handley lapped the
Brooklands circuit at over 100 mph (160 km/h) on a
BSA Empire Star, and was awarded one of the traditional Gold Star pins for the feat. That inspired BSA to produce the BSA Gold Star.
[3] The first Gold Star was an M24 model. It had an alloy 496 cc engine, an Electron alloy gearbox, and a light tube frame devoid of
sidecar attachment lugs. This model continued up to the start of
World War II.
