1957 BSA Bantam D3, 150cc. Registration number JAS 422 (non transferable). Frame number CD3 18485. Engine number BD3 16167.
Sold with the V5C and dating confirmation from the BSA Bantam club.
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 - on the D3 Bantam Major, introduced for 1954 - and then to 172cc. Plunger rear suspension became an option in 1950, the next major changes to the cycle parts being the introduction of swinging-arm rear suspension and a sturdier telescopic front fork on the Bantam Major in 1956.
JAS, a matching numbers machine, was dispatched to dealers Ross Motors of Hinckley on the 6th June 1957, battery model, in black. It has been well restored, it was recently and it has been fitted with electronic ignition.
Sold with the V5C and dating confirmation from the BSA Bantam club.
