Aston Martin and Brough Superior AMB 001 hits the market
With just examples built, the AMB 001 by Aston Martin and Brough Superior is one of the rarest bikes on the planet – seeing one on the secondhand market is an even rarer occurrence.
An ultra-rare, and ultra-expensive, Aston Martin and Brough Superior AMB 001 has hit the secondhand market, with the asking price for the carbon fibre V-twin sitting at a lofty $101,000 (around £74,400)!
And while it is impossible to deny that nearly £75k is a seriously chunky pocket of change, especially for a bike that has limited uses aside from occasional track tool and full-time ornament, it is a tidy saving compared to retail price at launch.
At its launch, the AMB 001 was reported to cost in the region of £93,000, although one example was offered for auction in 2025 with an estimate of £217,000 hanging from its non-existent rear-view mirror. That particular bike went unsold, going some way toward proving that beautiful design and ultra-premium equipment don’t fully trump usability when it comes to something's value.
This second bike, though, is, in the grand scheme of things, a lot more affordable – if affordability to you is dropping over £75k on what is effectively a toy.
The bike in question is located in the US, with the carbon-fibre bodywork finished in Stirling Green with Lime Essence accents - basically the only colour to have! It comes complete with the handbook, a paddock stand and a smartphone – which doubles as the bike's TFT dash.
Powered by a 997cc, 180bhp V-twin, the AMB 001 was exactly the sort of left-field project you’d expect when ultra-exclusive carmaker Aston Martin teamed up with equally boutique bike brand Brough Superior.
First shown at EICMA back in 2019, the bike took a little longer than expected to reach customers, with deliveries eventually beginning in 2022.
Underneath the dramatic carbon bodywork, the AMB 001 was essentially a turbocharged take on Brough’s SS100 retro-modern machine, albeit one designed purely for track use. Production was capped at just 100 units, and almost every component on the bike – from the footpegs to the brake levers – was either bespoke-made or top-shelf race-spec hardware.
Which is why it’s probably fair to assume that very few of them, including this example, have spent much time actually circulating a race track.
And this Brough isn’t alone in the seller's home, as in the background of one of the images accompanying the listing, we can see the also super-rare Aprilia RSV4 XTrenta. The €50,000 track-only special has near WorldSBK levels of spec and performance, and goes some way to proving that this particular bike fan has seriously good taste.
