Here is an absolutely amazing original, unrestored example of the 4- speed Francis Barnett 250cc "Cruiser 80"
This is the best condition I have ever found an original, unrestored 1950's bike to be in.
It has had one owner from new until June this year when an old friend of mine acquired it and "recommissioned" it got it all working well. It starts easily and sounds great. Charging system is all good. Gears brakes and clutch are all good.
Mileage of only 1700 probably genunie.
Comes with buff log book, V5C, original transferable number, original bill of sale. A nice file including Francis Barnett O.C. info. Original Owners' manual, old bills, old brochures etc etc. The panniers were recently recovered by RK Leighton. This has to be the best possible example of this model available.
