I need help identifying this BSA and if it's worth restoring

[rg7mm]

Good afternoon gentleman I would like some help identifying an old BSA that is lying in a barn and would like to know if it's worth buying

[craigc11g]

very cheap i hope , its a c11 i think , the later alt model , will cost more to restore than would be worth and finished not worth a lot but maybe of use for parts .

Hi,

All bikes are worthy of some sort of restoration and although most will never be actually worth the cost of a concours refurbishment there are degrees of resurrection.  I would think that if the engine on this bike is not beyond repair there is great scope for a project to create more individual bike.
How much is it worth?  Based on stuff I have sold recently I would think not more £150.
Have look on ebay to see if there any similar condition C11s for a comparison.

Hi,

Are you prepared to say where it is if anyone on the forum is interested?

Hi if anyone is interested if they make an offer I can put it to the owner it is in Warwickshire

Go for it.

Just what I was looking for about 5 years back

It will cost the earth in money and in time. Current condition not much more than £100.

Set yerself a five year project. That way you can spread the cost.

Realistically I'm out of the age bracket to start that one. But would really love to.

Perhaps you would like to let us know if someone buys it (obviously not who)and maybe we can follow its progress. Then if he/she whoever buys it might wish to keep us in the loop. That would be worth an article starting from scratch.
