Got the chance of a D1 competition(been checked by the BSAOC its genuine) for not alot of money.Thinking of building it and trialing it.Am I mad or should I polish it and just look at it,think I'll use it how it was intended.

Hi Brian I was just reading abut your D1 and was wondering how it was coming on,
I am trying to restore one myself at the moment and am finding it very hard to get the
correct parts for it.
Cheers Steve.

Hi - Can't remember where I got this catalogue from but just incase you do'nt have a copy, a 1949 BSA catalogue including the D1 trials.

Great old ad
But what happened to the bikes and the spares?
Because I have tried to find them and am still having no luck.
