That Brough Superior brings back a sorry tale in my family. My father in his teenage years, sold his older brothers bike for a few bob ( the older brother was away at the time). He was never forgiven as it was a "Brough" and apparently a similar unit to the one in a movie Laurence Of Arabia. Spelling apologies.
There was always a lot of 'shaking heads' when that story resurfaced at family functions!
Cheers

Yep, there's no such thing as a cheap Brough Superior..! I hadn't seen any in the flesh until Dad and I visited the National Motorcycle Museum in Birmingham. I knew they were desirable, but it just fell in love with the styling. A 1939 model will never bring the dollars of the earlier BS's, but it's still bloody beautiful.

Seems awfully cheap for an original Brough combination - the chair is the "fuel in frame" one made by/for Brough. Do you think Shannon's estimate is realistic?

Surprisingly, yep the 11-50 models aren't anywhere near the stratospheric prices of the SS80 and SS100s. Considering George Brough's 1939 SS100 sold this year for £253,500, this seems like an absolute bargain!
Here's a previous 11-50 sale
https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/13243/lot/301/
The condition of the one here in Australia and the addition of the sidecar seems to pu
t the estimate in the correct ballpark. I'd still love to see it go for over $100K.

I sent you (or tried to send) two PMs but they don't show up in my sent folder. Did you get one or both?
Thanks!
