1966 BSA C15P 250 Single Police Registration Number: HDG 82D Frame Number:C15 PG 335 The 250cc C15 was launched in September 1958, running to 1967 and becoming BSA's first four-stroke unit-construction bike. A Sports version was added in 1961, in addition to off-road versions for Trials and Scrambling. With a lowish power output of 15 bhp, the C15 competed with the more sophisticated Japanese motorcycles (such as Honda’s C71 and CB72) which began arriving in the UK in the 1960s, ultimately losing that battle. Originally registered by the Gloucester Constabulary on 12th August 1966, it is understood that the C15P had its police equipment fitted from new, later removed after decommissioning. The present owner added the BSA to his collection in 2015, and understand the engine and gearbox were rebuilt around three years prior to his purchase. Offered with its original green registration document, this ex-Police bike bike makes a fine period piece.
This bike will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees Motoring at the Bristol Classic Motorcycle Show at the Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, on Sunday 25th February 2024. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
