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.
Most motorcyclist of a certain age will have served their apprenticeship on the classic Bantam. Manufactured in 1965, this D7 model was registered new in the UK on the 29th of April 1965. A Super Deluxe model, it has three registered owners on HPI and just 22,172 recorded miles. Said by the vendor to 'run and ride very well' and that it is ready to 'use and enjoy', the Bantam is supplied with a current V5C and the original Green 'Buff' logbook.
