"Solid and unusual Englishman in a nice and user-friendly original condition, apart from a renovated engine some time ago."

Description

According to earlier original paperwork, it was delivered and registered on July 28, 1952, and sold on May 25, 1955, to a Rudolf Ståhl outside Dalsjöfors in Västergötland. In 1996, the same Rudolf sold the bike with the registration number P1520 to the current owner. He re-registered the motorcycle in 2001 after a technical overhaul and engine restoration. It has since been seen at car shows and is a popular enthusiast bike. Due to sickness, the owner has decided to sell a portion of his collection. The fragile and pink registration paper, along with the accompanying window envelope stamped 1959 and the receipt with the headline "PRISONER TRANSACTION," adds a distinct thought and appeal to the documentation.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

  • Interior condition

    A nice leather seat that has all the signs of being an original seat

  • Exterior condition

    Beautiful and attractive wear from an owner between 1955 and 1996. All the details have a fine-worn patina that feels very authentic and is highly valued by many.

  • General condition

    Motorcycle in a pleasant and user-friendly condition. An old bike with an honest driving pleasure to enjoy.

Facts about the model

Francis-Barnett var en brittisk motorcykeltillverkare som var verksamma mellan 1919 till 1966. Företaget grundades av Gordon Francis och Percy Barnett, och var känt för att producera lätta och prisvärda cyklar. Den mest populära modellen var Cruiser, en encylindrig fyrtaktscykel som tillverkades från 1948 till 1966. Företaget var också känt för sina tvåtaktsmodeller, till exempel Plover och Falcon, som auktionshojen. Francis-Barnett kämpade hårt för att konkurrera med de större tillverkarna, men gick så småningom i konkurs 1966.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
