The Plover was the smallest production Francis-Barnett catalogued for the 1956 season utilising the 147cc Villiers 30C engine housed in a frame featuring a tubular steel front section combined with a pressed steel rear. The following year saw the model designation change to 78 from 73 with the Plover gaining a dual seat and revised exhaust system, continuing in this form for the next two years when the engine changed to an AMC unit.
This older restoration is described as being in good condition throughout and prior to its acquisition in 2012 by the vendor had remained in the same family ownership from new with the father passing the machine onto the son. It is offered with a Swansea V5C together with an original owner's manual and parts list.
