There was a thread not so long ago that sked which bikes have you never heard of Laughing

Well, I know Brough Superior of course but I didn't know it had reincarnated and was selling bikes again.

The latest offering.....

Brough Superior has expanded its ultra-exclusive, high-end Lawrence range with a new, sportier variant: the Brough Superior Lawrence Dagger.

Silly money of course but obviously it will sell to someone.

Edited to add - Why the fcuk are the wheels different?

I knew that they were supposed to be doing an updated brough about 10 years ago but that was designed to actually look like the original. All that has in common with the original is the V engine.

Not even that much in common because it's a 90-ish degree V on those. JAP engines are a 50 degree motor. Considering they had bespoke engines made, I think that's a bit of an oversight. It's like making a Harley with something other than a 45 degree V.

That was one of only a tiny number of Airfix models that I ever built and the only car. I think the rest were all boats - huh, who knew then that I'd later spend 20 years thrutching around in the real thing trying to keep them afloat...

George Roper from George and Mildred, and Man about the house , had a Brough Superior fitted with a side car.

In real life it belonged to the BBC and I think it's in the museum at Coventry now.

I'm 45 days into quitting. I was on Embassy something or others back when I was hitting the tailor mades and
they were £10.60 a box. Switched to roll ups in September, then quit just after start of November. Not going back.

I'm a little surprised they use the Lawrence name as much as they do, bearing in mind it was one of their bikes that killed him.
