1951 BSA C11

BK Auto Auctions presents this awesome 1951 BSA C11! A part of the present owner’s portfolio of collectible vehicles since September 2009, the motorcycle received a complete and authentic restoration prior to his acquisition. It has been on static display in a humidity-controlled environment under his ownership. This motorcycle was purchased and owned by McQueen’s widow, Barbara McQueen, to commemorate his love for motorcycles after his passing. The motorcycle has traveled just under 250 miles since the complete restoration was completed.

Features/Drivetrain:

The BSA C11 is finished in British Racing Green with a chrome gas tank bearing green and gold accents.  All of the brightwork presents exceptionally well. Originally a four-stroke side valve engine design displacing 249cc’s, later models were fitted with overhead valve powerplants with the same displacement.  1951 marked the introduction of a new frame which featured plunger-style rear suspension.  The cycle was equipped with a four-speed gearbox, which in true British fashion was shifted with the right foot.  Drum brakes front and rear provided the stopping power.
