Note the 2 NEW Brough-Superior's for Sale
in the centre window!
Mike Leatherdale of the Brough-Superior Club has had a look at this photo
and found out that the Bike
on the stand in this window is NOT a Brough,
but something as rare. It is a Three
cylinder Scott, very rare,
and only made to order. Production of this bike was stopped in 1937, so
this photo was taken at Christmas 1937.
As a matter of interest he has also identified the two Brough's, as the
Club has all the factory records of dealer
stock at any time
display. Note 'Manxman' r/h rear stand
and Penny Farthing.
