c.1952 BSA Bantam D1, 123cc. Registration number not registered. Frame number YD18086782. Engine number 81345 YD.
Sold with no paperwork.
Many a now-mature motorcyclist's first two-wheeled experience will have been gained aboard a BSA Bantam. Developed from the pre-war DKW RT125 and announced in 1948, the Bantam became a top seller for BSA, in excess of half a million leaving the Birmingham factory before production ceased in 1971. Originally of 123cc, the engine grew first to 148cc and then to 172cc.
A stalled restoration project, the machine has new tyres, both the frame and the tinware have been painted, now just in need of competition. Buyers should satisfy them selves as to the completeness of the machine.
