BSA C15 1967 V5C Near Complete Restoration Tax Exempt Matching Numbers
BSA C15 1967V5 in my name and key, currently SORN.Matching numbers, tax exempt.Lovely looking British classic.New 69mm T100 piston and re-bored barrel.I bought this 3 years ago as an easy restoration/project.Has been sat in my workshop ever since, unused.Previous owner restored it and used it for a couple of years, I have the MOTs from him.I recently changed the fuel, charged the battery and it started.Still has the original brass dealer plate.A lot of restoration work was done by previous owner, this included strip down and repainting of all parts, many new nuts and bolts and replacement exhaust.The seat has been recovered and a new chain guard made.It has good tyres and the wheels are solid.Needs a thorough service/check over before its MOT.
