This is not a Savage or S40 but it is one fine motorcycle; take a look at a few photos...

That's beautiful. A friend of mine has a BSA very similar to that one, except it looks like it was driven through a minefield. Still runs like gangbusters though!

Observe.... The small hand lever under the clutch lever is the compression release lever. Gene

small ones.

The reason I fell in love with the Savage was because of bikes like this one. I always loved the big singles.

I always thought the Matchless G50 / AJS 7R prettier:

Its got a "Highway" knob on the handlebars? Is that to snug the steering down a bit?
Yea, the gauge in the headlamp bucket takes me back to another age in manufacturing. Very nice stuff there.

If you are referring to the large black knob just above the center of the bars/risers, that is a steering damper.
I had a '56 Goldstar and I have been remaking the Savage to remind me of the Goldstar in some small fashion. They are both big singles but beyond that are very different bikes.
