Beschreibung:

After WW2 Francis-Barnett concentrated on the production of lightweight two-strokes powered firstly by Villiers engines, while from 1957 AMC's own power units were fitted to many models. In the early 1950s the Falcon used the Villiers 8E 197cc engine and by 1956 was being built with a swinging-arm frame, partially enclosed centre section and 18" wheels, the latter being introduced on the Model 74. This charming and highly original Falcon 74 was supplied new by W M Webster of Crewe and belonged to the preceding owner for ten years. Understood to be an older restoration, 'RSU 978' is said to remain in very good condition both mechanically and cosmetically. Apparently well cared for, the machine is offered with a copy of the Villiers operating instructions and parts list; a wiring diagram; correspondence; an old-style logbook; and V5/V5C registration documents.
