From the estate of the late David Atkinson
1955 BSA 248cc C11G
Registration no. 877 UYY
Frame no. BC11S.5854
Engine no. BC11G 20005

BSA's 'C' range of lightweights was first introduced in 1938. Its first exemplar was the C10 sidevalve single with coil ignition and three-speed hand-change gearbox. A de luxe version with foot-change gearbox joined the range in 1939, as did the overhead-valve C11. The original girder front fork was replaced by a telescopic unit in mid 1946, and part way through 1949 the C10 gained an alloy cylinder head. This four-speed, plunger-framed C11G appears to be a relatively complete survivor, albeit missing some parts (silencer and headlamp lens/rim for example). Presented in 'oily rag' condition for re-commissioning or more extensive restoration, the machine is offered without documents and sold strictly as viewed. It should be noted the vehicle registration number '877 UYY' appears on the HPI database however, the machine is offered without documents. Accordingly prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the validity of the VRN, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
