The BSA C15 was the company's unit construction replacement for the indestructible C12 250. The largest capacity machine that could be ridden on a learner's licence at the time, it was hugely popular and became, for many, the first real experience on two wheels. The bike was largely based on the 200cc Triumph Tiger Cub and its buoyant sales helped with BSA’s claim to be the world's most popular motorcycle.
Registered in May 1964 this example was purchased by the vendor in 1998. Now requiring light re-commissioning, it appears to be in tidy condition and just needs a little TLC before it recommences active service.
