  • Early post-war BSA C11
  • Used and enjoyed in current ownership
  • Offered with some restoration photos and receipts

The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until their demise in the early 1970s. One of the more popular models produced was the 250cc C11, a good solid reliable bike that many learned to ride on. Actor Steve McQueen owned a later 1951 BSA C11.

This wonderful early post-war BSA C11 is an unusual model with a speedometer in the tank. This example was restored a few years ago and has been in use since. Some restoration photos and receipts for parts and work carried out are on file, but sadly not much history is known, however, it is offered with a current V5C.
