SUMMARY
Possibly the most complete and original Brough Superior Combination ever to be offered at auction.
DESCRIPTION
- The SS80 reappeared 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 1930s, 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 at auction
- This SS80 is matching numbers and is 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, sprung 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, seldom seen on the open market and an incredible opportunity
- Supplied with a comprehensive history file containing copies of its build sheet, original RF60 logbook dated 1956, numerous receipts, correspondence from previous owners, old MOTs, VMCC dating letter and other related paperwork
- Some spare parts included as pictured on our website
- Presented in running order and complete with its current V5C
