I
do not know how Dad got hold of these photographs, I think he must have got
them from the owners of the bikes around 1960/64. They have been in our album
for many years, but thought you might like to see them. |

1531 is a 1924 SS80. It was owned by Rev. Michael Staines from 1956 to 1985,
so this would be taken in that period.
The Rev. Michael Staines was a Founder Member
of the Brough-Superior Club.
I understand the bike has been 're-restored'
so this must be an early Photo. |

749 is a 1938 SS80 Brough-Superior, supplied by Alexanders of Glasgow..the only
other Brough Dealer in Scotland. By 1970 it was sold to America and was last
heard of in Colorado in 1996. Anybody
know of it? |

I
would like to thank Mike Leatherdale of the B.S.Club for his assistance in getting
details of many of the Brough's pictured. The B.S Club has marvellous records
of all Bikes ever made. |

7668 is a bit of a mystery, the photo was taken in the backyard of my Grandparents
home, and is a shot of a 1936 registered Brough SS80, supplied by Rossleigh.
The people were good friends of my parents, but I do not know if they owned
this machine at the time.
My father declared to the
B.S.Club in 1964 that he owned the frame of this bike (M8/1567). The engine
of this Brough was put into a 1935 SS80 in the 1960's (BWB 902).
I
am told that some other parts of this bike are also known. |

This
1938 SS80 is in the Museum of Transport in Glasgow.It is a one owner machine,
sold by Alexanders of Glasgow in 1939. The owner ran it with sidecar attached
until 1960 when it was donated to the museum. Always seems such a shame to see
them just sitting there. If you are ever in Glasgow, the Museum is worth a visit,
lots of bikes and cars. |
