1961 Francis Barnett Falcon 87, 199cc. Registration number 782 SPJ (non transferrable). Frame number CF 90590. Engine number 20T 4979.
Sold with the V5C, receipt of £266 for a new exhaust system and books.
In the 1950s AMC hired the services of an Italian, Mr Piatti, to produce a design for a range of engines of 150, 175, 200 and 250cc capacity to power both the offerings from Francis Barnett and their sister James factory which was also under the control of AMC. The Falcon 87 with the new 200cc AMC two-stroke engine replaced the earlier Falcon 81 197cc Villiers offering and received updates to include full alternator charging system, Wipac lighting and an extra gear ratio.
SPJ has received a sympathetic restoration and had a new exhaust fitted in April this year.
Sold with the V5C, receipt of £266 for a new exhaust system and books.
