Mauro is carrying out a thorough Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) on our classic bike before it makes its way down to the south coast to winner, Mike Parsons tomorrow. We do thorough PDI’s on all our competition vehicles to make sure they’re running perfectly before they meet their new owners.
Photographer Lydia Harper and her team came down to photograph our 1953 Francis Barnett Trials Bike last week for a new campaign with Deus Ex Machina. Her team, part of her own creative agency, Parc Fermé, included Matt Wild (Videographer), Alice Harper (Assistant) and Hannah Coe (model) who all worked to create the stunning visuals below.
We’re waiting in great anticipation to see Matt’s video.
Our 1953 Francis Barnett Rigid Body Trials motorbike was having some issues starting, so we had John take a look who quickly diagnosed the issue as dirt and debris getting caught in the carburettor.
Last night our marketing team and visual gurus, Ellie and Freddie headed over to Bentwaters to shoot some photos and videos with Charlotte. The overcast evening sky made the perfect moody backdrop to shoot our classic 1953 Francis Barnett against.
We think Charlotte’s getting the hang of this bike…
Back in 2019, we shot with Deimante aka @tomboy_a_bit at Bentwaters. Deimante is a die-hard motorbike fanatic and we couldn’t think of anyone more experienced than her to test out our beloved trial bike.
Deimante produced this video seen below where she talks about the interesting history of the bike and the quirks of riding it. From that day, we gathered plenty of photos and videos, some of which you’ll see on our website and other bits you can find on Deimante’s social media, so keep an eye out!
This charming bike is up for sale with us and you can check it out here.
In 2019, we shot with influencer, model and Motorbike lover, Deimante, aka @tombot_a_bit on our beautiful 1961 Francis Barnett Work Bike.
Deimante has a love for all things motorbike and works alongside motorbike brands and is often seen modelling and riding stunning motors.
It was a sunny and pleasant day out at Bentwaters, the perfect scene for a retro motorbike.

So the time has come for us to finally reveal our completed 1961 Francis Barnett 250cc Trials.
It has been almost 2 years since the bike arrived with us and as we quickly discovered it had more of a history than we first realised. being an original Francis Barnett factory trials made it rare but then to find it was a 250cc model made this a extremely special project.
The bike is now restored to as close to factory specification as we are able to get it.
If you know more about the history of our bike or any of our fantastic projects you see on our website we would love to hear from you. info@bridgeclassiccars.co.uk
