Manufactured by BSA from September 1958 until 1967, the C15 was BSA's first four-stroke unit-construction bike. For most of that period, after the introduction of 'Learner Laws' in 1961, a 250cc was the largest capacity solo machine that a learner could ride unaccompanied when displaying L-plates in the United Kingdom. A road-going sports derivative was added in 1961 and off-road versions, for Trials and Scrambles, were also available in the range.
This very smart 1965 BSA C15 was fully restored to a very high standard in 2019 before the pandemic. There is a memory stick full of pictures of the restoration and work that has been carried out. The quality of work is a credit to the previous owner and still presents very well. The current vendor purchased the C15 for his collection and has not used it since his ownership began in 2021. With some general checks advised before putting it back on the road, the BSA comes with a folder full of paperwork, the old RF60 logbook, Haynes and a parts manual.
