A C15 to see

[RichardL]

Not an A7 or A10, but this is definately an interesting item on eBay. Unbelievable, really.

I find it hard to believe as well, looking at the rear number plate there is no transfer with the piled arms and 250cc, I am not sure about what bars were fitted by the factory but in the UK they were straight, they actually made about 900 SS80's in 1962 and they all had the same engine so I do not understand his comment of the about most not having the SS engine. By far the rarer road going C15 would be the Sportsman of which BSA only made about 250 during the whole run of C15's, providng my information is correct.
However it is not impossible but I wonder if he has proof to support his claim?

This guy is either smoking crack or just fishing for suckers.  Even if it is original and unridden (I thought the black-face speedo wasn't fitted until '65 or so?!?!) there is no way a C15 would be worth that kind of money...even the SS80.  Also, C15SS engine numbers started with 1101 for the '62 model year and picked up with 2705 for '63...indicating the approximate number built since they just continued production without changing prefixes.  I love my early unit singles but would never be so delusional as to think they were actually worth something
