Registration number ETV 857
Frame number MVG201
Engine number GJB 100
This machine was the first Manxman G15 produced and used for initial trials and road testing by the works riders Ginger Woods and Tyrell Smith
Whilst undergoing tests at Donington Park in the hands of Ginger Wood, George Richards approached the works asking to use the bike for solo and sidecar competitions
The factory agreed to let him use the bike and it was updated and modified by the works on several occasions during 1937 always referring to it as GJB 100 in the works records
One of only 20 Manxman specials to be built by the factory, all fitted with bronze cylinder heads
We are informed that only 9 motorcycles and one engine are known to exist today
The bike represents an important part of the Excelsior Manxman development story
A very rare historic machine and with the George Richards connection it would be a significant addition to any collection and a good investment opportunity
