The Brockhouse Corgi was an adaptation of the Second World War Excelsior Welbike, which had been developed for use during the War for military parachutists. Intended to be dropped in its own container, the parachutist would remove it, lift up the handlebars, raise the seat, and off he went, possibly towing the container behind. After the War, the inventor, John Dolphin, took the design to Brockhouse Engineering of Southport, who modified it to produce the civilian Corgi, manufactured from 1948 to 1954 in Mark I, Mark II, and Mark IV versions. Acquired by the vendor in approximately 2017, NXS 811 was in a poor state and needing restoration. The owner advises that he carried out a total strip and rebuild, refreshing the paintwork, rewiring or renewing the various parts of the electrical system, including remagnetising the flywheel. Since completion, the machine has not been started or used, and will, therefore, require a degree of commissioning by the new owner. Documentation comprises a current V5C, photocopies of parts lists and operating instructions, sundry invoices, some photos and miscellaneous papers.
