Laurin & Klement · introduced 1912

Production1912

The Laurin & Klement Excelsior is one of the Laurin & Klement entries the open record knows by name and by date — in 1912, and by little else. That is not nothing: a name in the catalogue is where a car's story starts to be recoverable.

Family and rivals

On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Fiat Zero, the Panhard & Levassor type X 12 coupé-chauffeur, the Fiat 2B. Its Laurin & Klement stablemates include the Laurin & Klement - Škoda 110 and the Laurin & Klement - Škoda 115.

The money

There is no federal ownership record for the Laurin & Klement Excelsior — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.

The record

The open record for the Laurin & Klement Excelsior carries no verified engine, output, weight or price yet. MotorJury does not fill gaps with guesses; this entry gives the model a home in the catalogue and grows as sourced specifications and photographs arrive. Corrections: corrections@motorjury.com.
