Brough Superior - The Complete Story

George Brough began building motorcycles shortly after World War I, naming them Brough Superior to distinguish them from his father's Brough models and to emphasize their high performance and quality.
During the 1920s and 1930s, Brough Superior became known as the pinnacle of motorcycle engineering. These machines gained fame through riders such as Bert le Vack, Eric Fernihough, Noel Pope, and T.E. Lawrence, also known as "Lawrence of Arabia."

This book explores the complete history of Brough and Brough Superior, from the early 20th century to the end of production during World War II, including post-war revival efforts.

Topics covered:
- The history of Brough Motors
- The development of Brough Superior motorcycles and cars
- Their achievements in racing and record-breaking
- Special models
- Biographies of key figures
