The introduction of the first 172cc model - the D5 - for 1958 marked a number of developments to BSA's perennially popular Bantam, 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.
The vendor advises us that this Bantam Super was restored around ten years ago and is still running well. Accompanying documentation consists of Netherlands registration papers, an expired MoT certificate (1972), and its original UK logbook. It should be noted that the engine has been changed to another of correct type.
