The little 250cc side-valve C10 entered the BSA catalogue during 1938. The new model featured a single- cylinder engine with coil ignition and a three-speed, hand-change gearbox housed in a rigid frame with girder forks and was graced with a combined fuel and oil tank. With the end of hostilities in 1945, it was among four machines announced to return in August 1945. In 1946, the girder forks were changed for telescopic items and the speedometer moved to the tank.
A wonderful early post-war BSA C10 and is an unusual model with a speedometer in the tank, this one was restored a few years ago and has been in use since. Some restoration photos and receipts for parts and work carried out are on file. Sadly not much history is known, but it is offered with a current V5C.
