Lot 204

Property of a deceased's estate, c.1967 BSA 250cc B40/C15 Star

Property of a deceased's estate
c.1967 BSA 250cc B40/C15 Star
Registration no. not registered (see text)
Frame no. C15G 1568 and 40-4020A (see text)
Engine no. C15G 1568

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 with unitary four-speed gearbox, which was housed in a conventional cradle frame with bolt-on rear subframe. Alternator electrics and coil ignition were features, early models being distinguished by a distributor-type points housing.

This C15 is an older restoration offered in need of further recommissioning or renovation. Its history is not known. It should be noted that the displayed registration 'NHV 102E' is not recorded in the HPI/DVLA database; therefore the machine is offered unregistered and without documents. Furthermore, although the frame has been stamped 'C15G 1568' this is not a BSA stamping. The actual frame number is '40-4020A', which would appear to indicate the frame started life as part of a B40.
