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 subframe. Trials and scrambles versions were offered as the range expanded during the 1960s.
Restored some years ago, this C15S is described by the vendor as having a good engine, and benefits from a recently fitted Electrex World magneto and dynamo ignition system (£360, fitted four months ago). Of particular note, Mr D Lewis of the BSA Dating Service confirmed that this was the first BSA C15S built in 1961. Accompanying paperwork includes service sheets, an instruction manual, dating letter, an old-style V5, and an old MoT certificate.
