The BSA Bantam's final incarnation - the D175 with much-revised engine - appeared in 1969. Although at first glance its power unit looked unchanged, the 175 boasted new crankcase and cylinder head castings, the latter with central spark plug, and a stiffer crankshaft assembly among many other more minor modifications. The preceding D14's cycle parts were carried over unchanged to the new 175, which was built in roadster and Bushman (trail) versions.
Apparently an older restoration, this Bantam D175 displays a total of 2,542 miles to the odometer and was last taxed to 31st May 2008. The elderly vendor had purchased the Bantam in 2006. A potentially most rewarding project, the machine is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed (the engine turns over). The machine is offered with old/current V5C documents, instruction manuals, and SORN papers.
