The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. Their best selling model was the Bantam first seen in 1948 as a 125cc and in fact became the best selling British made bike of all time.
This 1966 BSA Bantam D7 was owned by its first owner from the 12th of January 1966 until 2023. The BSA was taken off the road in 1971 and subsequently restored by the owner in 2010. It is used very little and was stored once more until the ‘second owner from new’ purchased it in 2023. The BSA has its original RF60 logbook a current V5C handbook, pamphlets and service books.
