The Excelsior company could trace its history back to 1874 as a manufacturer of ordinary bicycles and were one of Britain's pioneer motorcycle manufacturers building their first motorcycle in 1896. Historically they had always been involved in motorcycle competition securing numerous successes at Brooklands and winning the 1929 Lightweight TT, success that continued up until WWII.
This c. 1920 Excelsior has been resting in a shed with a few other vintage and pioneer machines for over 25 years. Mostly complete, it would be lovely to see such a machine receiving a mild restoration and being put back on the road. At the time of consignment, the engine turns over and selects its gears. It is being offered 'as seen' and with no documentation whatsoever.
