1933	1933 excelsior empire	148cc. twin port model be1. she was registered in the port of milford haven on 12th january 1933 and was used as transport around the port every day by the same person. when the second world war came she was saved from being melted for scrap to make war machinery (like happened to so many other bikes and cars at the time) as the bike and owner were classed as essential war workers because by then, the usual fishing fleet in milford haven had been replaced by royal navy warships and also sunderland flying boats. the bike was used throughout this time, escaping the luftwaffe bombing of the port with just the loss of a headlamp (still never been replaced) and the girder forks which were replaced with the correct items. she continued in service up until the 1970s by which time the exposure to salt (and bombing) had taken its toll. she was repainted a dark red by hand - probably to hide the rust) We Also Offer Classic Motorbike Insurance

1935	1935 excelsior manxman 350cc	Although, it propelled sid gleave to victory in the 1933 isle of man junior tt race at an average speed of 72.62mph, the 'mechanical marvel' was just too complex for excelsior to consider series production. in addition to the tooling cost implications of its twin carburettor, dual camshaft and pushrod operated four-valve radial cylinder head specification, the 'marvel' also promised to be a warranty nightmare. nevertheless, determined not to lose the publicity benefits of its hard-won competition success, excelsior asked blackburne's ike hatch to come up with a simpler, more reliable powerplant. utilising a conventional bevel-driven overhead camshaft, the resultant single-cylinder engine was both simple and effective. displacing 248cc courtesy of its bore (63mm) and stroke (79mm), it developed a reputed 16bhp @ 5,000rpm. mounted in a rigid frame and mated to a four-speed foot change gearbox, the whole ensemble was christened the manxman. debuting at the 1934 olympia motorcycle show, the new model proved a palpable hit. proving that its name was no idle boast, a four-valve racing version took second place in the 1936, 1937 and 1938 lightweight tts.

1955	1955 excelsior autocycle	With excelsior 98ccspryt engine (same as the brockhouse corgi). by 1955, when this excelsior was manufactured, the writing was already on the wall for autocycles. those new-fangled ‘mo-peds’ had just hit the showrooms, and old-fashioned cyclemotors and autocycles were no longer wanted by a public that had been waiting so patiently since the end of the war to buy new vehicles with modern designs. excelsior ceased production of its renowned autocycle the following year, so this is one of the last of its breed. as you can see below, it sports excelsior’s own engine, the spryt, which was also fitted to the brockhouse corgi motorcycle.
