1963 BSA Bantam D7, 175cc. Registration number VGV 483. Frame number LV:O.347-483. Engine number ED7B 25575.
Sold with the V5C and a Haynes workshop manual.
The introduction of the first 172cc model - the D5 - for 1958 marked a number of developments, the most important of which were a stronger big-end bearing and improved lubrication. A raised compression ratio and larger carburettor increased maximum power to 7.4bhp and the top speed to 59mph. Introduced for 1959, successor D7 model - known as the Bantam Super - featured the 172cc engine while boasting a new frame, hydraulically damped front fork, bigger brakes and up-swept handlebars.
VGV has been issued with a new DVLA frame number, presumably when it was re registered with them in 1982. Owned by our deceased vendor for several years it will light recommissioning before road use.
Sold with the V5C and a Haynes workshop manual.
