1959 BSA C15, 250cc. Registration number 350UYM (non transferrable). Frame number C15 4257. Engine number (see text) C15D 1770.
BSA acquired the Triumph marque in 1951, and the BSA C15 250 cc four stroke was derived from the 200 cc Triumph Tiger Cub, itself coming from the 150cc Terrier. Edward Turner became head of the BSA automotive division and in 1958 BSA introduced the concept of unit construction, where the engine and gearbox were combined in one piece rather than as separate components. The BSA C15 'Star' was the first unit construction model and proved more reliable and economical than its predecessor, the pre-unit BSA C11.
UYM was owned by David Atkinson of Sunderland in 2014 and our vendor bought it at auction in 2016. He has ridden it around his village but other projects have got in the way. It started on second kick when delivered for the auction.
Sold with the V5C and an instruction manual, please note the engine number on the V5C is not the same as in the motorcycle.
