BSA made 75,000 bikes a year during the 1950s. The Birmingham Small Arms Company had become a major industrial conglomerate which was not only the UK's number one motorcycle maker, having absorbed Ariel and Sunbeam, but also produced taxi cabs and metal plate as well as guns as they had done in the beginning in 1863. Bicycle production commenced in the 1880s and they made their first Minerva-engined motorcycle in 1905
This Birmingham-built C15 motorcycle first left the Small Heath works, once the world's largest motorcycle factory, in 1964. According to the vendor, the owner since 2002, the 250cc bike with single-cylinder overhead valve motor has only three known previous keepers.
We understand that the paperwork is likely to include the last five MOT certificates, the machine currently being on a SORN, as well as full BSA workshop manual and complete spares brochure, instruction manual and BSA owners booklet, and Amal hints and tips spares guide. The machine, in red and black, is said to be currently in fair mechanical and cosmetic order.
