Frame no. M8/1586

• Single ownership for circa 50 years
• Matching numbers
• Offered for restoration

In single ownership for circa 50 years, this rigid-frame example is one of 460 Matchless-engined SS80s built, of which some 300 or so survive. A matching-numbers machine (registration, frame and engine), it was supplied new to Godfrey's Ltd of Great Portland Street, which was the Brough main agent for London having taken over Allen Bennett of Croydon (suppliers of Broughs to T E Lawrence) in the late 1920s. The SS80 was registered in London as 'CXB 608' but unfortunately nothing else is known of its history; it is believed to have come into Frank Vague's possession in the mid-1960s. Dismantled and incomplete, the Brough comes with a copy of its Works Record Card and is offered for restoration.
