BSA's 'C' range of lightweight machines was introduced in 1938. Similar in many ways to those of the larger 'B' range, whose wheels and brakes were employed, the cycle parts consisted of a simple diamond frame and girder front fork. First model was the C10 sidevalve single with coil ignition and three-speed hand-change gearbox. A de luxe C10 with foot-change gearbox joined the range in 1939, as did the overhead-valve C11. When the C10 reappeared after the war, its oil was no longer contained in a fuel tank compartment but in a separate tank bolted to the saddle tube. The girder fork was replaced by a telescopic unit in mid-1946 and part way through 1949 an alloy cylinder head was adopted. The model ran on as the updated C10L, with alternator electrics, plunger rear suspension and four-speed gearbox, until 1957.
This machine has been partially restored at some point but is an unknown quantity as it has only recently been removed from storage and buyers should satisfy them selves over the completeness. There is no paperwork with it.
