George Brough started building motorcycles
shortly after the First World War. The machines were named Brough
Superior both to distinguish them from his father's Brough machines and to
denote the highest levels of performance and quality of manufacture.
Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the name Brough Superior was synonymous with
the very best in motorcycle design. The machines gained fame in the hands
of riders such as Bert le Vack, Eric Fernihough, Noel Pope and, of course, T.
E. Lawrence 'Lawrence of Arabia'. This book documents the full story of Brough
and Brough Superior from the early years of the twentieth century through to
the end of production in the Second World War, and post-war attempts at
revival.
