1967 BSA Model D10 Silver Bantam
(One Year Only Model)

Here is a rare one!  1967 BSA D10 Silver Bantam, only produced in 1967, this has been in a private collection in Southern California for many years, as you can see it has been well taken care of, it is believed to be an original paint bike with the exception of the added BSA Stickers on the tank, It has not been started in a few years but was in tip top shape when put away.  Owner put away right by draining all fluids, and removing battery.  To get running I'm imagining it will only take a battery and some fresh gas?
