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 to motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to become one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles until its demise in the early 1970s. The Bantam, introduced in 1948 as a 125cc, was not only their best-selling model but would become one of the best-selling British-made bike of all time.
This 1966 Bantam D7 was bought by its first owner on 12th January 1966, not changing hands again until 2023. The BSA was taken off the road in 1971 and subsequently restored by its owner in 2010. Thereafter it was used very little and was stored once more until the new owner purchased it in 2023 and recommissioned it. The BSA has its original RF60 logbook, a current V5C, pamphlets and service books.
