Frame no. D7 6990
Engine no. GD7 6990

Many a now-mature motorcyclist's first two-wheeled experience will have been gained aboard a BSA Bantam, a model that was produced in various forms for over 20 years. This D7 model was run for some 20 years before being left in a barn and stripped by a former owner. The vendor purchased the BSA as a frame and box of parts, and then proceeded to restore it. The machine last ran in July 2022 and is described by the vendor as in good condition, although the rear-end wiring is incomplete. We are advised that the Bantam comes with an old-style logbook; however, the registration 'LEA 442E' is not recorded in the HPI database. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to the validity of the VRN prior to bidding.
