1940's Excelsior 47/S1 Autobyk de luxe Spryt Rare Fully Restored

You are here   >  Sold Inventory  >  Sold Motorcycles & Choppers
Originally from the private collection of a noted vintage motorcycle enthusiast, this 1940's Excelsior 47/S1 Autobyk de luxe is a true rarity. While exact details are not known of this motor bike, research has shown it to be an Autobyk produced around 1949 with the designation 47/S1 (cannot be 100% certain).

It is powered by a 98cc 2 stroke Excelsior "Spryt" motor.

This gorgeous museum quality motor bike has been painstakingly and professionally restored to it's original splendor. Currently there is no gas or oil in the bike because it is being displayed indoors. It is a fully functional motor bike but never fueled or driven since complete restoration.

Due to it's incredible age, there is not a lot of data available on this motor bike. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves and try to answer any questions as they come up.

This is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of 2 wheeled history.

A few words about the owner

The owner of this machine is a renowned collector who has decided to reduce his collection at this time. He has a broad assortment of carousel horses, classic jukeboxes, vintage motor bikes and other rare but cool items etc. He has been featured in many newspaper and magazine articles and judging by this machine, he clearly only collects the best. Be sure to check my other auctions and website for these unique items.

Featured Marque


Please note that Excelsior along with Vincent and Henderson will be the featured marques at the prestigious Legend of the Motorcycle International Concours d'Elegance to be held on May 5, 2007 at The Ritz Carlton, Half Moon Bay, California.

Private Auction


A few words about switching to "Private Auctions" on Ebay - I have decided to run only private auctions based on Ebay's recommendation simply because of the scammers and thieves who are preying on my bidders. These slimy scammers have targeted my auctions and have sent out bogus "second chance offers" to my bidders and recently one of my bidders even sent these lying thieves $7000.

As a way to protect you the bidder, I am now only going to run private auctions so that your identity will be protected. I apologize for this development but unfortunately, we have only these low life slimeballs to thank (sorry for my bold language).

Vehicle Condition - - I have not personally inspected or photographed this motor bike. I am relying on the pictures and descriptions provided by the seller. I can however tell that this bike is an exceptionally rare vehicle in showroom condition. When was the last time that you saw one of these for sale and in this incredible condition!!

I invite anyone to inspect this car in the Long Island area and determine for yourself that this bike is truly in great condition. Seeing is really believing.
