Description
This is for a restored 1949 BSA Bantam D1 125 with a rigid frame and under footrest exhaust.
Purchased by Stuart and I in 2018 in boxes of bits as a project, intending to get it up and running before deciding if we wanted to restore it to original condition or keep as a runabout. Unfortunately, Stuart passed away with pancreatic cancer in 2019 before we had completed it, so my interest in keeping it has waned somewhat. It's time to pass it on to someone else to enjoy.
It has had a full engine rebuild with new bearings, seals, gear selector spring, kickstart spring, piston & rings, clutch push rod & plates, and exhaust/silencer. New headstock & wheel bearings and new handlebars/levers have been fitted together with a new wiring loom but I have kept the standard ignition (i.e. not electronic). I cannot vouch for the speedo mileage.
The BSA Bantam club has dated this as a 1949 build (dating certificate available). It has been Registered with the V5 in my name on an age related plate. No Road Fund Licence nor MOT is required for this historic vehicle.
It has been road tested over 10 miles (needs more running in) and am pleased to say that nothing fell off nor did it miss a beat :-). A Haynes manual, a parts catalogue and Bantam transfers will be included, plus a few other parts that may be of interest.
Buyer pays cash on collection from East Sussex.
