Gold Star Flat Tracker

From regular correspondent, Nick . Nick sent me an article about Al Gunter. Fascinating bloke, Dick Mann's mentor.

Bob Birdsall's Gold Star flat tracker, with an Al Gunter tuned engine. It's a DB rather than a later DBD. The inlet port has been moved to a more central position, it has a billet crank and Carillo rod also it has some unusual roller cam followers, all the best to you

    Nice one Nick! I much prefer the hardtail Goldie trackers to the more commonly collectable Clubmans and particularly like the full-on Hensley oil in frame ones which surface occasionally. About every 18 months I see a nice one I could fancy in the stable but never when I could go for it - moving house, having kids, changing jobs etc. This one is very neat and I bet it sounds fantastic wound wide open.
