Comments from the seller

Vintage BSA C10 1951 - 1952 Purchased from Burns Actions in Victoria and shipped to WA. 250cc single 07794 miles showing Unregistered currently however can be put on club plates of desired. I have not tried to get this machine running as yet, however it is complete and engine can be turned over by hand. I suspect following a typical re-commissioning process would do the trick. The last registration disc for Victoria still attached shows 2014 Look out for my other advertisement as I also have listed a 1933 BSA again from Burns purchased at the same time. Burns Auctions comments on this motorcycle: Post-war bike provides easy lightweight handling, good performance and easy to work on. The BSA C10 range was introduced in 1938. The result of continuous development of the Model B, B1 and then the B20. Basically, a Val Paige design it was aimed at the “Go to Work” market and maintained BSA’s reputation for producing simple, reliable, quality machines at a budget price. The C10 side valve and its companion C11 models were continuously developed, gaining telescopic forks after the war. In 1954 The C1L was introduced. The “L” designation stood for “Lightweight”. Basically, the earlier drive train was shoe-horned into a Bantam frame. The result was a reasonably good power to weight ratio, a Bantam like feel without the two stroke engine complications of oil in the fuel and dodgy electrics. A C10 L should be regarded more as a Bantam substitute rather than an underpowered C11. These provided reliable cheap transport to thousands of workers until the late 50’s when the C15 was introduced. This example is an older restoration. There has been some paint deterioration but otherwise is in great condition. The previous owner indicated that it was a good runner, but it will need to be recommissioned after a few years in storage.
