1960 BSA C15, 249cc. Registration 631 KRO. Frame number C15 overpainted (see text). Engine number C15 10767 (see text).
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.
KRO is sold as a project and buyers are requested to satisfy themselves as to its completeness. It was registered with DLA in 1978 when it was declared rebuilt - assembled from parts some or all of which were not new. It was owned by Gordon Powdrill in 1995 and our vendor bought it in 2016.
Sold with the V5C which states the frame to be C15 33887 and the engine to be CC13362B25S.
