1959 Excelsior Consort, 98cc. Registration number UJF 118. Frame number SC9 677. Engine number 6068 8963
Excelsior's Consort first appeared in 1953 as the F4, with Villiers 4F engine and two-speed gearbox, changing to the 6F unit for 1956 when a plunger-suspended version joined the range.
The Consorts continued in production until the end of 1957 when they were replaced by the new Consort CA8, a more up-to-date design featuring a telescopic front fork and swinging-arm frame. A year-or-so later a rigid-framed (F4F) version was reintroduced and the two Consorts continued until the rigid model was dropped in 1963, to be followed a year later by the swinging-arm type.
This matching numbers original example was first registered to James Hutton of Leicester on the 16th February 1959, moving to Warren Voyce, then Dennis Day, Ian Norton and Ronald Norton, he sold it to long term owner William Cooke on the 4th April 1974 for £10. It spent all of its life in the Leicester area with MOT certificates from 1965/66 and 67.
It has recently had a new rear wheel and chain.
Sold with the R.F.60, the MOT's, 1974 receipt and a new V5C, offered in original paint this should be a relatively easy recommissioning project.
