This is the engine enlarged. Note the plug appears on the left side of the head as on OHV head for C11. Surely the C10 of this year was the same as other years. The plug on top the head not in the side. So are we saying it is a C10 and in 1942 the plug came out the side of the head and not on top.
I see this engine as OHV so C11. Am I right or wrong? Have you a picture of the RH side of the bike

There were prewar 250 SV & OHV BSA circa 1937 they were mod 22 & 23. Later C10 and C11 most of the late 30's models you see are de lux mag. ignition models. The bike in question has coil ignition like the post war C10 & C11. I don't know when the C10 & C11 models changed to coil only. But one thing is sure, the bike in question has a C11 OHV engine, now clearly seen in my photo shopped picture. Although I had to change white balance quite a bit to reveal it.
This is my 1954 c11g ohv, and the one in question I would think is a c11 ohv engine with the dynamo on a chain drive between the engine and gearbox in a c10 side valve rigid/girder frame. Hybrid still got to be worth £1,000.00
