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.
