The biggest story of the recent Bonhams Spring Stafford Sale weekend was a 1931 Brough Superior SS100, which has been owned by the same person since April 1973, when it was bought for £150. It sold for a monumental £281,750 including premium – that’s some retirement investment fund!
The vendor, who has not been named, said: “I was all too aware of the SS100’s notoriety, especially as I worked as an aircraft engineer for Vickers at the Brooklands race circuit where, in 1939, an SS100 took the all-time record of 124.51mph.”
