SUMMARY

Correct numbers, Brough SS80 from long term ownership.

DESCRIPTION

  • Brough Motorcycles were synonymous with high-performance, engineering excellence and quality of finish
  • In production for around 18 years, Superiors (80 and 100) were generally hand-built to suit a customers requirements
  • The fit and finish was comparable to a Rolls-Royce and they were the most expensive road-going motorcycles in the world 
  • From 1935, the SS80 was powered by a 982cc Matchless sidevalve V-Twin
  • This superb 1936 example was originally supplied new to Hooleys Garage in Nottingham
  • It's a correct numbers machine as corroborated by a copy of the Works Record Card
  • Just 2 registered owners since 1982. Dry stored in a private collection for the last few years
  • Consequently will require some recommissioning before returning to the road
  • The engine turns with good compression and as can be seen from the images, the bike remains in lovely condition (Complete with spare handle bar risers)
  • Good history file with old MOTs, old RF60 continuation book, historic correspondence and some old Brough Superior Club newsletters
