SUMMARY

Possibly the most complete and original Brough Superior Combination ever to be offered at auction. 

DESCRIPTION

  • The SS80 re-appeared as part of what became the final range of Brough Superior machines in 1935 with production continuing until 1939
  • It utilised the AMC side-valve V-twin, as fitted to the Matchless Model X, though with subtle differences in specification and a crankshaft to Brough's preferred design
  • Unusually, Brough offered a range of sidecars, an important market in the thirties, alongside his distinctive motorcycles. These were built by outside suppliers to a specification that echoed the looks and characteristics of the chosen machine
  • The 'Alpine Grand Sport Cruiser' was in fact built by Brough and utilised a single frame tube which doubled as a spare petrol container, holding over a gallon
  • CUS 276 is possibly the most complete and original Brough Superior Combination ever to be offered under the hammer
  • The SS80 is matching numbers and still attached to the Alpine Grand Sport Cruiser ‘Petrol Tube’ Sidecar specified when new
  • First registered in April 1939 by Brough agents, Alexander & Co. of Glasgow
  • Boxes ticked on the original order form included Monarch Forks, Spring Wheel rear suspension, Amal Touring Bars, Wasdell front and Cranford rear guards all of which are still present and correct
  • With known history from day one this outstanding and desirable ‘Brough‘ combination’ is a true rarity, rarely seen on the open market, an incredible opportunity
  • Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged.
