SUMMARY
Superbly restored, correct numbers and still on its original registration number, this is a great opportunity to acquire an important Brough Superior
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced in 1926 after two years of poor sales as a Brough Superior with a wider appeal
- The JAP-engine, 680 OHV had similar looks to the SS100 but with 300cc less offered a significant weight saving with very similar performance
- Sales in period were strong and 547 bikes were built over 11 years of production with only 127 believed to have survived complete
- Built at the Haydn Road factory and came with a rigid frame, Castle forks, Amal carburettor, Lucas MSV 5od Magdyno, Lucas S40 headlight with ammeter and dipping beam, Lucas 6V Altette horn, Jaeger 120mph speedo, pilgrim oil pump and Lycette saddle
- Factory records list a fuel tank top switch, separate oil control, small curved top pannier bags, Alum oil bath front chain cover, rear footrests and a Sturmey Archer 4-speed gearbox that it still retains today
- Supplied new to Layton Garages in Oxford on 3rd May 1933
- Known ownership back to 1944. Subsequent owners are listed on the RF60
- Partially restored in 2017 then passed to marque specialist Simon Miles for a full engine rebuild, full gearbox and transmission rebuild, new oil lines and the fitting of period-correct twin headlights
- Will require 'running-in' as the work was completed recently
- Copy of the factory 'works record card', old RF60, restoration receipts and associated paperwork
- Correct numbers and still on its original registration number, this is a great opportunity to acquire an important Brough
