Huge Collection of Brough Superior SS100 Bikes to be Displayed

A huge line-up of Brough Superior SS110 motorcycles will be on show this weekend at the International Classic MotorCycle Show in Stafford.

The spring sale event takes place on 26-27 April and will be home to over 250 bikes, including a total of 25 Brough Superior SS100 motorcycles.

The sale will be headlined by various rare and significant motorcycles, including a 1925 Brough Superior 981cc SS100, which is currently estimated at between £300,000 and £350,000.

The bike is believed to be one of 12 original SS100s from 1925 still in existence, and it retains its matching frame, engine and gearbox, as well as a rich racing history that included a 2nd place finish at the 1927 Ulster Grand Prix.

The sale of this classic motorcycle is part of a record-breaking showcase of 25 SS100s, including some of the rarest and most iconic ever made, which coincides with the 100th anniversary of the SS100.

Among the iconic line-up is also a 1929 JTOR V-twin JAP-powered ‘George VI,’ that was previously owned by Thomas Edward Lawrence, also known as Lawrence of Arabia.

That bike was his until 1932 - Lawrence died in a motorcycle crash in 1935 while also riding a Superior SS100 bike. Another famous bike set to be displayed is the 1927 JTOR V-twin JAP powered ‘Works Scrapper’, which earned the title of the world’s fastest bike in 1929.

Aside from the extensive collection of Broughs, other noteworthy bikes scheduled to be on display include a 1937 Scott 498cc Flying Squirrel combination that was once owned by Steve McQueen. There’s also a 1986 Armstrong-CCM CF250, which was raced by eventual British Superbike champion Niall Mackenzie. The bike is only one of four 250’s produced by Armstrong Competition Motorcycles during the 1980s.

Advanced tickets are no longer available, but on-the-gate entry is £21. Under-16s go free with a paying adult.
