  A 1951 Francis-Barnett ‘Merlin’ 122cc motorcycle

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.
