The Works Record for this SS80 denotes rigid frame, druid forks, Lucas MSV 50d anti magdyno, Lucas HF Altete horn, Smiths 120 MPH speedometer and Lycett Super Aero saddle
Despatched from the works on April 3rd 1936, this early production Matchless engine SS80 (MX80) was supplied new through the Croydon showrooms of Godfrey’s Ltd., which by 1936 had taken over from the Allen Bennett Motor Co. as the main Brough Superior agent for the London area. The earliest details of ownership date from 1969, when it belonged to John Christopher Parker of Maidstone
In June 1971 ownership passed to John Wilson Bell of Twickenham, but in October 1972 it returned to Kent in the new ownership of Roger Albert Everest of Dartford. Everest became a long-term owner, retaining the Brough until 1995, when he sold it to Verralls, the well-known classic motorcycle dealership in West Sussex
Acquired by the current owner in recent years, this machine has benefitted from recent cosmetic restoration and is well known to the Brough Superior Club
