1940 BSA WC10 250cc
The WC10 was the last of the pre-war civilian C10’s that had been introduced in 1938. The 1938 C10 had hand gear-change like its predecessor the B series BSA. But this model was designed with foot gear-change, the same as the postwar BSA’s. The 1940 catalogue illustration is below.
This WC10 is in very sound condition, runs well, and has a long MOT (and tax).
I hope you can see all you need from these photos. But if you have any questions, please email or phone me as below.
**********************
You can compare this model with the 1938 C10, above, and a postwar 250, below.

***********************
Most British motorcycles made in 1940 would have been used in some way during the war. A 250cc would not have seen heavy military use like the M20 even if it had been drafted into the army. A machine such as this would typically have been used by auxiliary services or as a runaround for female staff.
***********************
Whether you decide to paint it in army colours, or leave it in its civilian trim, it’s a charming little machine that was built to last forever. It’s hardly a racing motorcycle, of course. But if you’re content to potter around country lanes at 45 to 50 mph top speed and enjoy the scenery, not much can beat a 69-year-old old thumper like this.

VEHICLE CONDITION: Vintage vehicles are wonderful beasts
– but each has an individual personality and they sometimes have bad days just like you and me.
You will need basic mechanical skills (or a local mechanic) to use one on a regular basis.
Two-strokes invariably need basic servicing before starting them, if they’ve been left to stand for more than 3 weeks or so.
These are rare vehicles whose values are not necessarily based on running order.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE ABOVE, PLEASE DO NOT BID.
