Excellent!
I bet there are BSA fans up and down the country green with envy that you got gifted that lovely bike for free. Hope you make a nice job of it, as I'm sure you will.

I'd have bunged some petrol in it and given it an oppertunistist kick over because nothing gets up enthusiasm for a project like knowing a bike is a runner.
I've seen far worse ones fire up. A mate of mine dragged a plunger-framed B33 out of a barn that was so rotten, the tyres had perished off it. He bunged a new fuel line on it, poured a capful of 2-stroke premix down the sparkplug hole, turned it over on the valve lifter a few times then gave it a big welly. Fired up and idled... then caught fire because it was leaking from the fuel tap but he had an extinguisher to hand for that express purpose.

@stinkwheel
it has no compression whato ever, turns over okay and it was running when it was last used but you can pull the kick lever down with your little finger.
@shaft
nah, totally standard. i was up for building a mad engine and using it for hill climbing or something but my dad wants to put it back to factory and he's bankrolling it, so meh.

You never know, you might get a taste for it.
There's something very satisfying about taking a shed and turning back the clock, to the day it left the factory.

edit:
in the headlight photo, to the left, you can see that creepy spiders legs  not scared of spiders but that thing is a monster.

That means nothing. It's a Brit single. They can loose all compression over a few weeks because the oil film between the bore and the rings disappears.
If I leave my Enfield parked up for anything longer than a month without the engine up to compression, the engine will spin freely on the kicker. As soon as it fires up once, it's back to normal.
Glad it was running when it was parked though because a lot of C15s never worked properly (having been manufactured by a striking, disinterested, unionised workforce, employed by idiots who couldn't see the wood for the trees) and were eventually consigned to the back of a workshop in favour of a CB250. Or set on fire for the insurance.
EDIT: If you're putting it to concourse, does that mean you don't want those highway pegs?

Wotcha.
Ah - a BSA with just the right number of cylinders 
If you intend using it, convert to 12 volts and think about adding a set of indicators . . . .I've done this to all my Brit bikes - it makes things a tad safer and a lot more reliable.

It won't appear on the SORN register until someone applies for a v5. Once it pops up on the system it'll be treated the same as any other vehicle.
