The most iconic Motorscooter ever made - The SALSBURY Model 85 Imperial Rocket Scooter
the SALSBURY Model 85 Standard
Available in several colors, the red/orange examples are the most prevalent. Also available in Black, Blue, White, and Green. Cost for a custom color was $150 extra and it is believed the custom colors were painted over the top of the red/orange.

The SALSBURY Model 85 DE Luxe
Produced in two different variants, the Deluxe with full frontal fairing and the standard. The deluxe fairing was bolted over the top of the existing body creating a more streamlined look. There are very few details how many of these were produced, but only one is known to survive. This is the holy grail for Salsbury collectors.
