Brough Superior

Postby Manchesteral » Tue Dec 15, 2015 10:53 am

I'm salivating at the thought of purportedly 8 (5 if you look carefully at the pictures) Brough Superiors discovered in a barn, I would love to have something like this just once in a lifetime.
Reportedly you can't by one in decent condition for less that £100.000 some lucky souls will get their hands on them!

Of independent means thanks to a Truss Fund set up for her. She certainly was a strapping lass.
