Developed from the pre-war DKW RT125 and announced in 1948, the Bantam became a top seller for BSA, with over half a million built before production ceased in 1971. Originally of 123cc, the engine grew first to 148cc and finally to 172cc. Plunger rear suspension became an option in 1950, as did battery electrics powered by a 6-volt Lucas alternator, direct lighting having been relied upon hitherto. This plunger-suspended D1 is offered from the collection of the lady vendor's late father, a motorcycle enthusiast who collected bikes for some 40-plus years. His motorcycles were kept at home and seldom ridden. Sadly, he passed away in early 2020, hence the reason for sale. It should be noted that while the machine is offered with a V5 registration document, the registration number 'LOJ 361' is not listed in the HPI/DVLA database. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the validity of the vehicle's registration number prior to bidding.
