The Autobyk marked Excelsior's return to civilian production in 1946 and was originally offered with the 98cc Villiers Junior De Luxe. For 1947 it was joined by a version using the 98cc Excelsior Goblin which was quickly joined by a second Excelsior-powered 98cc machine fitted with the single-speed Sprite engine.
Purchased by the late vendor approximately ten years ago, this Excelsior Autobyk was then the subject of some restoration work by him. Post-restoration, the Autobyk was used and enjoyed for some time, being last run in the August of 2022. Since that time, the machine has been in storage, so it will require checks and light recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C some old MOT certificates and a Dating Certificate.
