MOT: Exempt
In production between 1962 and 1965, the Cruiser model 89, with 249cc 2T and 4T twin-cylinder Villiers engines, became one of the final models produced by Francis-Barnett before the company’s closure in 1966.
Purchased by the late-owner in November 2001, CYD 194A has been stored in recent years seeing little use. It is said to be in “good” general condition with very good wheels, seat and tank although there is some rust on the exhausts. An old sale advert in the history file, dating from 2001, states it had been subject to a “full nut and bolt rebuild” and a written note details a series of works carried out. It is accompanied by an original Francis-Barnett Cruiser 75 and 80 sales brochure, Villiers Mark 2T and 3T Operating Instructions & Spare Parts List, two expired MOTs, assorted articles and correspondence, together with a photocopy Illustrated Instruction Book for 1962-1966 250cc Cruiser Twin Villiers 2T models.
