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' models. 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 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.
This is an exciting project for the pre-war enthusiast. A rare Francis Barnett Black Hawk with just one or two known to exist in the club, this example is a recent shed discovery, where it had laid for many years. It comes with a file of paperwork and a dating certificate along with old tax discs. There are some parts missing from this Black Hawk. All of the parts available with the sale are pictured in the photographs provided.
