1962 BSA Bantam D7
Although it used the same 175cc engine as its predecessor, the D5, the D7 was the first ‘modern’ Bantam in that it ‘looked’ like a bigger bike. This was achieved with a new rear frame, side-panels and a cover hiding the rear downtube. A headlamp nacelle was added too, as well as new fork. The D7 was to be built for seven years but by now, Bantam production was a fraction of the D1 days
