"Excelsior Manxman" (1939)
The Excelsior Manxman was a classic British motorcycle
that exemplified the engineering prowess and racing spirit of the
pre-war era. Introduced in 1935 by the Excelsior Motor Company, the
Manxman was designed to compete in the prestigious Isle of Man TT, one
of the most challenging and revered road races in the world. Powered by
a 250cc, 350cc, or 500cc single-cylinder engine, the Manxman was known
for its lightweight construction, reliability, and impressive
performance. The engine, developed with input from renowned tuner Joe
Craig, featured an overhead camshaft and was capable of producing very
competitive power outputs for the time. The Manxman's sleek, streamlined
design, combined with its advanced engineering, made it a formidable
competitor on the track, where it earned several victories. The bike's
name, "Manxman," paid homage to the Isle of Man, where it proved its
mettle against the best machines of its time. Today, the Excelsior
Manxman is a highly sought-after collector's item, revered for its
racing heritage and its place in British motorcycle history. This particular machine, a 1939 350cc J12 model, was restored by Mr Nigel Wynne of VintageBike.co.uk fame.
