Brough Superior
George Brough’s works in Nottingham; hand-built, luxurious motorcycles called the Rolls-Royce of motorcycles.
George Brough began building motorcycles in Nottingham and called them Brough Superior. They were fast, expensive and built with great care, and a magazine called them the Rolls-Royce of motorcycles.
T. E. Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia, owned several and was killed on a Brough Superior in 1935. Production ended at the Second World War, and the marque has since been revived.
