This has to be one of the most original BSA C10 we have seen. When it comes to lightweights this 250cc sidevalve is one of my favourites. Purchased over 6 years ago, stored but turned over fortnightly, we finally gave this machine the attention it deserves.
The petrol tank was removed and flushed clean. Engine primed, carb removed, stripped down, cleaned, checked and re-built. New battery, fresh lube and with a few sputters the engine ticked over nicely.
Plenty of rare parts on this machine and in very good condition considering their age.
The C10 rides like a dream and everything works just like it did when it left the factory!
