In September 1958 BSA introduced a new '250' that would provide the basis for an entire range of singles in capacities 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. This example was purchased as a restoration project from an autojumble many years ago. An HPI check document on file reveals that the registration '2383 AW' has lapsed and so this motorcycle should be treated as unregistered. The machine is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed.
