Vintage Superbikes at Bonhams' 2008 Stafford Sale
Bonhams is delighted to announce the early consignment to its first major collectors' motorcycle sale of 2008 of two of the Vintage era's most highly regarded and sought after 'superbikes' - “Brough Superior SS100 and Coventry-Eagle Flying-8“ to be sold at The Classic MotorCycle Show, Stafford on 27th April 2008.
1934 Brough Superior 8/75hp 'Two-of-Everything'
Legendary superbike of motorcycling's between-the-wars 'Golden Age', Brough Superior - 'The Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles' - was synonymous with high performance, engineering excellence and quality of finish. Always the perfectionist, Brough bought only the best available components for his bikes, reasoning that if the product was right, a lofty price tag would be no handicap. And in the 'Roaring Twenties' there were sufficient wealthy connoisseurs around to prove him right. One such was T E Lawrence - 'Lawrence of Arabia' - who owned several Broughs and was killed riding an SS100.
Estimate £120,000 - £140,000
