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.
DAS was re-registered with DVLA in 2002 and by 2016 it was with Ray Saxby, he sold it to our vendor in 2019. It was then fully restored during 2020, the engine rebuilt with a +20 piston and re-bore, clutch and other ancillaries. The frame and tinware were all then repainted and all niggles sorted out. Since then it has not been used as another project came along.
It is being as part of a garage tidy up. Sold with the V5C, receipts for parts, various copies of service manuals.
