1932 FRANCIS BARNETT LAPWING

Our vendor has owned this Francis Barnett, believed to be a lapwing model since 2008. The V5 erroneously records the engine size as 350cc although the IXBA casting number on the head indicates it to be 148cc. The engine number, JZ831 matches the V5. Although registered with the DVLA in 1982, it is thought to be manufactured in 1932 and not 1930 as the V5 shows. An original looking machine that has been unused for a number of years and will require some recommissioning. Comes with V5 1932 model brochure and 1932 'Hints & Spares' catalogue
