The little side-valve C10 250cc machine had 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. 1946 saw the girder forks changed for telescopic items and the speedometer moved to the tank top and for 1951 the option of a plunger frame and four-speed gearbox became available. The next major revision occurred for 1954, when an alternator was adopted, resulting in a new designation for the smallest BSA four-stroke to C10L.
The BSA C10 on offer was restored to a good standard a few years ago by the last owner. It is offered with some CDs of the restoration and a handbook. Having not been used since last year it will need a check over and light recommissioning before use. There is a current V5C and a Dating Certificate from the BSA Owner’s Club.
