Wow, that sound is better than a Harley!  It sounds like a 180? degree Triumph twin with just a hint of a V8.

I'm not sure about the old Triumph's, Paul, were they 180 or 360 twins?  At any rate back in 1948, I always liked the sound of the Triumphs.  Retarding the spark on them at idle resulted in hearing each cylinder fire, alternating from one muffler to the other.  I also note that its the classic Brit Burman tranny, right side, up for first. I always did like that on my Matchless.  In a speed contest (not that I did) it was a lot easier to stomp on the shift lever to go UP through the gears.

Beautiful machine.  Makes me wish that I had my Matchless 500 thumper back even with the hard tail frame and the Prince of Darkness.  Thanks for a great post!
