Francis Barnett 1956 Rebuild

This was a rebuild for a customer from boxes, it took us about 6 weeks start to finish, and was an amazing project to work on ...

Sourcing some of the parts took us round the country and many phone calls, purchasing handbooks and diagrams and lots of advice from an Owners club helped too.

The exhaust was also clogged up completely and had to be completely stripped apart, cleaned, blown out, put back together and welded so that it was functional. ( what a job) !!

The end result was this beautiful restored classic which should run for many more years.
