1961 BSA C15, 249cc. Registration 263 WTB. Frame number C15 23898. Engine number C15 23101.
BSA acquired the Triumph marque in 1951, and the BSA C15 250 cc four stroke was derived from the 200 cc Triumph Tiger Cub, itself coming from the 150cc Terrier. Edward Turner became head of the BSA automotive division and in 1958 BSA introduced the concept of unit construction, where the engine and gearbox were combined in one piece rather than as separate components. The BSA C15 'Star' was the first unit construction model and proved more reliable and economical than its predecessor, the pre-unit BSA C11.
WTB appears to be an original unrestored machine that will require recommissioning before use, it was owned by James Dickinson from June 2016 before our vendor bought it in the September.
Sold with the V5C.
