Rare machines to go under hammer
Vintage motor cycle enthusiasts will be able to bid for some of the world's rarest machines in Stafford – including some from Down Under.
In the motorcycle world, Brough Superior is in a league of its own. Akin to owning a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley, they're the best of the best; historic, finely crafted and beautiful.
Bonhams annual Stafford sale at The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show at Staffordshire County Showground takes place on October 18 and is an exceptional opportunity to acquire examples of the most desirable models Brough Superior ever produced. Highlights include several outstanding SS100s, including a 1926 Brough Superior 980cc SS100 Alpine Grand Sport, dismantled and offered for restoration at an estimated £120,000-160,000, and a 1936 Earls Court Motorcycle Show Brough Superior 990cc SS100, estimate £210,000-240,000.
Further highlights include a series of motorcycle projects, carefully assembled and preserved over the past 40 years.
Collected by Sydney-based enthusiast Gary Ross, the lots include three Brough Superior motorcycles: a 1926 Brough Superior 980cc SS100 Alpine Grand Sport project, estimate £120,000-160,000, a 1927 Brough Superior 980cc SS100 Alpine Grand Sport project, estimate £120,000-160,000, and a 1931 Brough Superior OHV 680 project, estimate £15,000-20,000.
"This year's Autumn Stafford sale features an extraordinary selection of mighty Brough Superior motorcycles," said Ben Walker, International Director for Bonhams Collectors' Motorcycles."
Bonhams Autumn Stafford Sale takes place 18 October at The Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show, Staffordshire County Showground.
