Description:
A 1951 Francis-Barnett 'Merlin' 122cc motorcycle, one of Francis-Barnett's first post-war offerings was the Model 51 Merlin. Introduced in 1946, the latter was powered by the 122cc Villiers 9D twin-port engine, which went into a rigid frame equipped with a girder front fork. A handsome and well-equipped lightweight, the Merlin came with a speedometer and direct lighting as standard, while a particularly neat touch was the oil tank- complete with petrol mix measure - attached to the rear chain stays. Recently completely restored and in working condition. Provenance: From the estate an Auckland gentleman who completed the restoration. With helmet, goggles, various pamphlets and other associated items.
