The design of the Bantam came to BSA as part of war reparations in the immediate post-war period. Derived from a 125 DKW, it was put into production initially in 1948 and in the ensuing years was slowly developed, increasing in capacity from 125 to 150, and then to 175. EOL 659C was acquired by the vendor in 2020, in need of restoration. The owner advises that he carried out a complete strip and rebuild, renovating or replacing anything that was needed. The large quantity of invoices in the history file attest to this, and include paintwork, tyres, brake shoes, wiring harness, seat, conrod/big end assembly, and a CDI ignition kit. Since completion, the machine has not been started or used, and will, therefore, require some commissioning by the new owner. Documentation comprises a current V5C, an old MoT certificate, sundry invoices, some photos, and miscellaneous papers.
