1966 BSA Bantam D7 Super, 175cc. Registration number FRH 15D. Frame number not found. Engine number FD7B 25550.
The Bantam was based on the German DKW RT 125, a design that was received as war reparations, with the Bantam as a mirror image so the gear change was on the right side as with other British motorcycles of the period. Over the years the model evolved through the D1 of 1948 to the D3, D5, the D7 in 1959.
The D7 Super engine remained largely unchanged and had the same three-speed gearbox, the new model had an entirely new swinging arm frame, uprated brakes and hydraulically damped forks, a nacelle-mounted headlamp, slimmed down mudguards and a sporty petrol tank; it was available in up-to-the-minute colours like Fuchsia Red and Sapphire Blue.
FRH appears to be an unrestored local machine that has had an engine rebuild, owned by Graham Douthwaite before our client bought it in 2016. Unused recently it will require recommissioning before use.
Sold with the V5C.
