Anybody here with any knowledge of these bikes ? I have some photos to post if so.
|
Do you mean the real Excelsors of the 30's, or the AMC Villiers-powered abominations of the 50's and 60's?

I once owned a 1938 Excelsior Autobyk-Villiers powered of course.98cc with non-detachable head-no suspension either.

Ill post the photos tomorrow.

I did briefly own a "Talisman Twin" in the sixties, can't really remember much about it, just one of those cheap bikes of the day.
When i lived in Birmingham i worked for a few months at King Dick tool in Kings road Tyseley, near my home. Excelsior factory was just up the road. Other nearby names were Lucas and Girling.
The area was one big manufacturing area in those days, so many sadly gone now.
The whole area smelled of suds oil !
