BSA revamped its unitary construction singles range for 1967, the new B25 Starfire and C25 Barracuda models retaining the same basic engine layout as the outgoing C15 but with a stronger Victor-type crankcase assembly and new 'square-fin' alloy cylinder barrel. Inside, there was a stronger one-piece forged crankshaft and, somewhat unusually for a single, a split shell-type big-end bearing. This example was acquired by the lady vendor's late father from AJ Motorcycles of Berkhamsted in March 2000 and carries a tax disc that expired in November of that year, which almost certainly is when it was last used. For the last several years the machine has been stored in less than ideal conditions and is badly corroded. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, it comes with an old-style V5C document and three expired MoTs.
