Brough Superior SS100

[Throttled]

At the Museum of Speed, Pendine, in a case hence the reflections. Still, an object of beauty and great expense as one sold for £286,000.

The site of the workshop is about a mile from me.. sadly long gone. but even so, its odd to think how many times T. E. Lawrence must have ridden up and down that road grinning from ear to ear on his latest "George".

you might think £172 isn't a lot of money.. as a comparison the top of the range Triumph at the time cost £75.

I hope it had a quick shifter as standered for £286,000. It is a thing of beauty.

Next to the other bikes on display, the Brough looks so well made and finished.

My grandad had a Brough! If he was still alive I'd show him this.. He'd be laughing his head off.

if he was still alive and still owned it.. he would be sitting on a fortune. and probably not laughing at all.. more likely fighting off the collectors and auction houses who would love to get their hands on it.

I used to lust after one of those as a kid. Bit of a shame to see it in a case - I hope it gets ridden every now and again.

if you mean the one i posted.. no. i very much doubt it. that one is in the imperial war museum and was the bike T.E. Lawrence was riding when he was killed... one side effect of his death. helmet law... though it did take almost 40 years to arrive.
