They made a range of motorcycles mostly powered by JAP, Blackburne and Villiers engines. The company made an effort to take their name racing. There was Lightweight TT success in 1929 race, followed by the Excelsior/Blackburne ‘Mechanical Marvel’ winning the 1933 TT.

This Excelsior that is offered is possibly a really quite rare surviving racing Excelsior motorcycle. Having been in the possession of, and restored by, Ewan Cameron of Cameron Engineering, using a ‘works’ frame, forks, and petrol tank, it had a new rear end having been manufactured to original specification as it had been converted to a swing arm unit some time in its life and was used for grass-track racing in the West Country. The possibility exists that this machine was likely used by the Excelsior factory racing and development department for the 1931/32 seasons. It has a frame number ‘TT1’, which may have been the identification by the factory racing department to identify the racing frames or could have been ‘race replicas’ or ‘sports models’, we cannot be sure, however, the configuration is seemingly similar to ‘works’ machines of the period, particularly with the history of Excelsior/JAP motorcycles in competition. It has been with Ewan Cameron for some time. We have been informed it runs and rides very well and quick.
