No probs, mine was built in Reditch not Madras <G>.

For the time (late 60s/early 70s), it was a bloody good bike, and a
lot more reliable than my mate's Velo Thruxton, and better by an order
of magnitude than the Beeser C15 it replaced, even though it was 10
years older than the Ceefer.

Oh yes. I had a C15 for a while. Only bike I ever owned that was faster
in third than in top.

Unlike my Bantam. I was *gutted* when I realised that I'd bought a bike
with a fucked gearbox. I took it round to Mike, the local BSA expert.

"What's the problem?"
"S'fucked, I can't get fourth"
<pitying look>
"It only *has* three gears..."

My first car was a 67 Herald 1200cc that was older than me.
My 1954 Adler MB200 is 14 years older than me.

 

Thus spake The Older Gentleman unto the assembled multitudes:

My C15 was bliss after the Lambretta that came before it. And I loved
it forever after passing my test on it. Of course, I abused it mercilessly
and eventually had to throw it away, but I had a lorra laughs on it.

But that said, yes, they were horrible, it must be said. ;-)
