THE ROLLS ROYCE OF MOTORCYCLES

Manufactured by George Brough of Nottingham, the Brough Superior's were widely regarded as the Rolls-Royce of motorcycles and each was virtually hand crafted to the customer's individual specifications. The "11-50 Special", to quote the 1939 Sales Brochure, was "specially built fo the tough guys of the motor-cycling game" and was available in Colonial form with long rear-swept handlebars, twist-grip controls, foot-boards, foot-clutch and gearchange. The engine was a J.A.P 60-degree V-Twin 1100cc with a single Amal carburettor. The Monarch patented bottom link type front fork was specially designed for sidecar work. The advanced four-speed gearbox was pivotal mounted and had three close ratios with a low bottom gear. The 11-50 was capable of a highly repectable 65-70 mph with sidecar fitted, even more riding solo.

This Brough Superior is one of several purchased by the Victorian Police Force prior to World War 2 and fitted with a Dusting sidecar. The bike ultimately wound up in the famous Birdwood Mill Museum in South Australia before being purchased in the early 1980's and immaculately restored by the present owner. In 2002 the speedo drive and cable were replaced, the wheel rims rechromed and new tyres fitted. The 11-50 was characterised by the slogan "The machine chosen by the Australian and Canadian Mounted Police" and this motorcycle-sidecar combination, having seen service with the Victorian Police, justifies this claim.
