In September 1958 BSA introduced a new '250' that would provide the basis for an entire range of singles in capacities of up to 500cc. This newcomer, the C15, featured a compact overhead-valve engine and unitary four-speed gearbox. Alternator electrics and coil ignition were features, early models being distinguished by a distributor-type points housing. The engine/gearbox unit was housed in a conventional cradle frame with bolt-on rear sub-frame. Trials and scrambles versions were offered as the range expanded during the 1960s. An immensely successful model for BSA, the C15 was discontinued in 1967.
An older restoration acquired for the Museum in April 2004, this example is offered with an instruction manual, expired MoT (2004), numerous SORNs, and old/current V5C Registration Certificates.
