Francis & Barnett Limited was an English motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1919 by Gordon Inglesby Francis and Arthur Barnett and based in Lower Ford Street, Coventry, England. Early motorcycles were affectionately known as ' Franny B'. Motorcycles were produced for enthusiasts and was reasonably affordable for citizens for use as general transport. The majority of the lighter motorcycles used Villiers and later Two-stroke engine and later Associated Motor Cycles AMC engines. AMC took over Francis & Barnett Limited in 1947 combining this with the James motorcycle models in 1957. The combined company remained in business until 1966.
Fully restored and rebuilt in 2019 by the previous owner, the vendor says it ‘starts and runs easily’ at the time of consignment. Used by the current owner for general rides and showing at club events, the machine has seen minor recent work on the cylinder head, gear lever shaft, and kickstart to make a reliable and enjoyable machine. Paperwork, manual, and some spare parts are included.
