Excelsior Talisman Twin 250cc for spares or perhaps restoration

This  is an Excelsior Talisman 250cc motorbike probably from the late 50s. No documents are available. It is disassembled and incomplete so would be good for spares or perhaps as a starting point for a rebuild project. There is no tank. seat or lower fork components but you can see from the photos that the frame and fair bit of tin ware is available. Engine also is incomplete although the crank and gear sections seem ok. Please inquire if you need specific information on this or any other questions you may have. For collection only. Since listing I have been asked about the parts of the engine that are missing:As far as I can tell:The crankcase end seems complete although the pistons have been removed. They are present but no gudgeon pins. Within the clutch housing the back plate of the clutch and clutch springs are present. The remaining clutch plates and double primary chain sprocket and the smaller double primary chain sprocket ( for the crankshaft end ) are present but have been removed. I think the plate with the cork inserts are missing as is the primary chain. The final drive sprocket is missingGearbox I believe to be complete and the gears seem to select ok. Gear lever missing. Kick start lever is not original. Return spring missing. Clutch actuating rod and lever are missing. Carb manifold present but no carb. Various fixing nuts/washers including cylinder head bolts missing. Engine mounting plates present. Points plate and cover missingHopefully that covers it but please ask if in doubt.
