The BSA C11 was a British pre unit single cylinder motorcycle of 249 cc built at the Armoury Road factory in Small Heath, Birmingham, between 1939 and 1956. It was developed before the Second World War from the side valve C10 by fitting overhead valves, and it kept evolving into the 1950s: plunger rear suspension arrived in 1951, and the C11G cured early gearbox problems and became a popular post war commuter. In 1940 the Office of the High Commission of India ordered 530 in military specification, with a rear carrier and extra air filter, though the British forces chose the M20. Steve McQueen owned a 1951 C11, and the C12 replaced it in 1956.
