I bought this on the weekend. It is a 1948 Francis Barnett Powerbike, 98 CC two stroke, speedo goes to 55 mph? It came with the original bill of sale from Fred DEELEY Ltd, Vancouver, BC dated April 8th, 1948. Sold new for $295.00 (expensive in it's day). It also came with the it's first vehicle registration dated April 9th, 1948. Best of all it only has 303 miles on it. It is 100% original and complete.

Fred DEELEY was the father of Trev DEELEY.
