I think its an FB falcon

Can anyone confirm or deny its a francis b. falcon. Model 58 or 67. The mudguards are incorrect and maybe the seat. All advice welcome.

Francis Barnett frame and engine numbers are readily available. Provide them and we can give you an exact id with no bother.

Ok, these are the numbers sent to me tonight. I cant guarantee these are 100% correct but should be close.  Frame UUM70360B - Engine F?6  88290. The second digit is unreadable. Hope this can at least tell me what type of  falcon it is.  Thanks in advance

Hi again,
UUM identifies the bike as a 1954 Falcon Series II model 67. The engine number prefix for that model is 387A so the number as given is a bit of a mystery. Not to worry, Villiers engines are interchangeable and it is no surprise to find the engine has been changed.
It is not a trials machine no matter what has been done to it. The trials machine of that year had a frame number prefix of UTM and the scrambler equivalent was UTMS. Falcons for overseas used UMSO.
Cheers,

Huge thanks to 33 for the info. Thats me on the first rung of the ladder. All i have to do now is bring it home, find a restorer and then pay for the whole affair. Ho hum. One step at a time.
