SUMMARY
Amazing "barn find" Excelsior 350 Manxman.
DESCRIPTION
- Developed in the mid 1930's with a single overhead camshaft, 2 valve engine available as either a 250cc, 350cc or 500cc
- Famous as a race machine but actually never won a TT but did score victories at the Manx Lightweight class between 1936 to 1938
- This amazing 'barn find' example comes from long term ownership and is presented in very original overall condition
- One of the last bikes built and comes with a current V5C still on its original registration number
- Correct numbers and engine turns over with good compression
- Complete with small history file containing current V5C, old RF60 buff log book from 1948, old V5, some DVLA correspondence and associated paperwork
- Will obviously require recommissioning or restoring before road use
- Great opportunity to acquire an original and unrestored 350 Manxman
