Francis Barnett Super Sports No 9 built in 1928 offered for sale, with Francis Barnett Owners Club dating certificate and vehicle details. It appears that the bike has stored for many years, and the registration documents were lost. It was re-registered in 2023.
The bike seems to be very original except for a later carburettor and a chrome headlight. It is in good condition, and even the original pressurised bearing lubrication system seems to be working correctly. Recently, there has been over £100 of parts fitted, supplied by Villiers Services. The bike runs and rides, we have in fact seen it ridden around our yard, but as with all bikes of this age, it would be sensible to check everything before further use.
The V5c is in the vendors name, there are also parts invoices and all the documents and pictures from when the bike was re-registered. A very reasonably reserved 97 year very original looking old bike which is quite practical.
