Never mind all that, what bike is it?
My best guess is a BSA.....

John and Jackie
Yup! BSA Bantam D1
My first motorbike!
Fantastic! I thought it was a Bantam...
Please ask Bones to blog some pictures of the restoration!

John and Jackie (wb Pippin)
good innit!
BSA Bantam with conflicting documents... could be D1 could be early D3.... I should know the difference, and in due course I will. I think it is a D1 though!
Congratulations, it looks as though you even managed it without removing all the disused plastic bottles and other detritus which usually takes up at least a quarter of the car ...
D1 = 125cc D3 = 150cc
Might have a owners manual in the loft if you would like it.
yeah. The documents say it is a d3 but the engine is a 125!! Or something like that!
I would LOVE an owners manual if you have one. My dear Ma did buy me one but I can't find it after so much moving. The haynes manual I have rather typically swaps bike for the front forks!

Found it! It's a 1951 instruction manual for a D1 - Piccy here http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/lh/photo/juRTupsPeY64zAjXLfEwtw?authkey=Gv1sRgCPPQm_zoyNvPZg&feat=directlink
If you could PM Wiltshire Moonraker on Canal World Forums can arrange to get it to you. :D

Hey, LOVE the link!!! Fantastic!
Is it a runner? or are big strip-downs in the offing?
It is a runner, I have had it running a couple of times, but I started the project a LONG TIME ago, and for various reasons it ended up back in the shed.. until now.
It needs to be taken apart again, cleaned up, and put back together. I think I will have a start this weekend.
