Im still trying to figure out which model this is. The ones that Ive seen/read about with such tanks were all twins. Anyone here can indentify the year and the model. Probably a Model C?

Managed to answer this question myself, OR is for Hampshire. Here is the source. So the first post and the topic it was created for holds no good.

More commonly known as BSA Bantam. I was told they initially came with hand gears?

Yes it is a Bantam 250 two stroke BSA. The rigid frame version of this had hand gears but not this one

These were quiet common till the mid nineties
