Re: CLassic bikes - Excelsior
this is the best i can come up with via tinternet...
"In the lean years following the second war racing and luxury machines were sidelined in favour of relatively inexpensive two-strokes, the flagship being the Talisman twin powered by a 243cc 4speed Villiers. Their best seller in this period was the Consort, achieving a peak production of 10,000 units annually." the 250 2 stroke sounds right... might be quite rare, but he did say parts are like rocking horse droppings to get |

Re: CLassic bikes - Excelsior
If you don't take it I'll offer £50 for it.
I know nothing about the bikes, sorry but am interested to see it and see how this progresses. You knows you wants it... |
