Registration No: JO 1170 Frame No: 1030 MOT: ExemptBuilt for, and ridden by, George Brough himself in the 1930 MCC Edinburgh TrialFeatured in publications and Brough recordsRestored by marque guru Tony Cripps in 1980Previously on loan to the National Motorcycle MuseumEarlier design high-level exhausts on each sideOne of the great ‘rider manufacturers’, George Brough was born in 1890 and began competing sixteen years later. His successes helped put his father’s motorcycle business – W.E. Brough – on the map. The latter introduced a new ‘flat tank’ twin-cylinder machine in 1913 which formed the basis of the marque’s offerings going forward. Living in and around Coventry and working for White & Poppe during the Great War, George Brough took the opportunity to buy, sell and assess no fewer than thirty-four British and American motorcycles. This research led him to believe that by assembling the best proprietary components available to his own design he could create something better. Hence the idea of the Brough Superior was born. The very first machine to bear the famous name debuted not at a motor show but on the 1919 MCC Land’s End Trial. Road registered with the Coventry number plate ‘HP 2122’ (which appeared on countless Brough Superiors thereafter), its build quality was as impressive as its performance. Operating from premises on Hadyn Road in Nottingham, George Brough aimed right at the very top end of the market. Handbuilt, his motorcycles were likened to the very best suits or shotguns being tailored to their owners’ physiques. The company’s first Super Sports model, the SS80, debuted in 1924 and was advertised as being capable of accelerating from 8mph to 80mph in top gear. However, it was the follow-up SS100 with its certified 100mph performance which truly captured the public’s imagination. Among the very fastest machines on either four- or two-wheels that money could buy (specially tuned versions were clocked at over 130mph), the flagship Brough Superior was as beautifully styled as it was exquisitely finished. Progressively developed, the SS100 could be had with a sprung Bentley & Draper frame from 1928 onwards and made the switch from JAP to Matchless V-Twin power eight years later. Only ever made in tiny numbers, the Brough Superior Club estimate that 383 SS100s were completed between 1924 and 1940 (281 JAP vs 102 Matchless). Ever the keen competitor, George Brough ensured that his most famous creation was contesting events (often in his hands) up until 1939. Such was his desire to win that when loaned a SS100 Combination for a re-enactment of the MCC Edinburgh Trial during the 1950s he reputedly stripped and rebuilt it before tackling the first stage!According to the Brough Superior Club, just 21 SS100s were produced in 1930 including this particular example - Frame No. 1030 - which was completed during May for none other than marque founder, George Brough, to ride during the upcoming MCC Edinburgh Trial. Held over June 6th -7th, the two-day event was open to motorcars and motorcycles alike and saw competitors race from London to Edinburgh and back again via a series of demanding road and trial stages (covering the best part of 1,000 miles). A keen participant, George Brough won the Trial in 1910, 1911 and 1912 aboard his father’s machines and knew the prestige it held among the buying public. Brough Superiors in both solo and combination guises were frequent entrants up until the outbreak of World War Two. As with any SS100, Frame No. 1030 was tailored to George Brough in terms of its handlebar layout and seating to ensure motorcycle and rider were as one. The rough nature of the trial sections could well explain why it was fitted with the older-style high set exhaust pipes. The rest of the bike was bang-up-to-date with a Bentley & Draper sprung frame, ‘super heavyweight’ Sturmey Archer three-speed gearbox, Castle front forks and doubtless a slightly ‘breathed on’ JAP 986cc V-Twin engine. Appearing on the Trial with the same Works registration number - ‘HP 2122’ - that had graced the first Brough Superior (and which George Brough appended to numerous machines over the years without always feeling the need to inform the relevant authorities), Frame No. 1030 was ridden with his trademark gusto. A wonderful image of the SS100 skirting a stone wall whilst being gunned uphill was captured by the photographer Bill Brunell and has appeared in numerous publications. Acquiring its current number plate ‘JO 1170’ in August 1930, Frame No. 1030 remained a fixture in and around the Works for the next few years. Part of a winning team in the Inter Club Trial, the SS100 was also snapped on a 1930s Continental Tour somewhere in the Mosel, Freiburg region. Interestingly, Frame 1030 was back at the factory when its own number plate ‘JO 1170’ was briefly appropriated by one of the Austin Seven-engined Brough Superior BS4 motorcycles indicating that its then owner was known to George Brough or at least had ties to the company. Surviving World War Two, the SS100 is known to have belonged to R.A. Bill by 1963. Resident in the Stratford-upon-Avon Motor Museum a decade or so later, it passed to Robert Brown during 1978. Restored by acknowledged marque guru Tony Cripps in 1980 and pleasingly retaining its original JAP engine, Frame 1030 passed through the hands of renowned dealer (and collector) Bryan Verrall before joining the National Motorcycle Museum’s collection where it has been proudly displayed ever since. A reluctant sale but in a very good cause, the Museum are hopeful that they will have ‘JO 1170’ running again by auction day. Any 1930 Brough Superior SS100 is a seriously rare and special motorcycle but to have the very Works-prepared machine which George Brough used to contest that year’s gruelling MCC Edinburgh Trial is something else again!

George Fordham, Odsey, 1918'A private collection. Previously Sir Herbert George Fordham (1854–1929), a writer on cartography whose Carto-Bibliography method of cataloguing maps was widely adopted. He attended University College, London. He was the benefactor of the Fordham collection housed by the Royal Geographical Society. He received a knighthood in 1908 and from 1920 was Deputy Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire. He donated rare maps and atlases to both the British Museum and to Cambridge University Library and he bequeathed 1300 volumes, including rare road books and itineraries, to the Royal Geographical Society. His house, 66 Odsey House, was built as a racing lodge close to Odsey racecourse by the Duke of Devonshire, and had been in the hands of the Fordham family since 1793This detailed and accurate map of Oxfordshire with its fine town plan of Oxford is Davis’s only contribution to English cartography, although he was a prolific surveyor of estates in and around Oxfordshire.

Registration – YJ63 CYEChassis No. – WBS6C92030DV74225M.O.T. – September 2025Odometer – 63,000When the BMW M6 Gran Coupe was launched in 2012 it vied with the i8 as BMW’s most expensive model. In Gran Coupe mode the M6 is a fire breathing “four door coupe” with unmatched luxury and cachet. ‘YJ63 CYE’ garnishes that already exquisite recipe with a Stage 1 map bringing power up to a mighty 681bhp (readout provided). Offered here with no reserve, ‘YJ63 CYE’ is complete with a full BMW service history, four new tyres and new pads and discs throughout. With around 63,000 miles covered to date ‘YJ63 CYE’s’ exhibits significantly below average use in the hands of five former keepers. Complete with a valid MOT until September 2025, this is your rare chance to own a rang topping BMW with a huge 681bhp on tap.With the M6 Gran Coupe BMW pulled off the seemingly impossible. As Evo noted at its launch in 2012, it looks both sleeker than an M5 and cooler than the M6 Coupe. Praise indeed! ‘YJ63 CYE’ certainly validates that view in its stealthy Singapore Grey metallic livery with carbon fibre roof panel and chunky quad exhausts. Furthermore, ‘YJ63 CYE’ sits purposefully on a set of 20-inch BMW 433M alloys with diamond cut faces and black accents. The sumptuously appointed and fastidiously engineered four seater cabin is finished in Opal White Merino leather with carbon fibre accents. Given this car’s status in the model line up and nearly £100,000 original ticket price, it features every refinement that 2013 could muster. These include four zone climate control, electrically controlled and heated seats with memory function, wide-screen BMW Professional audio and satellite navigation system and heads up display. The vendor reports the paint and bodywork as “good” and the interior as “excellent.”As with all models carrying the revered M-Sport prefix, it is ‘YJ63 CYE’s’ mechanical specification that is likely to set the purists’ hearts a-flutter, however. The heart of this beast is the S63 4.4-litre twin turbo V8 that was shared with the M5. Power is distributed via a seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission with DRIVELOGIC. The advanced Active M differential shuffles torque across the rear axle to the prioritise the wheel with the most grip. Variable damper control optimises road dynamics in real time. In addition to all that, ‘YJ63 CYE’ enjoys a significant power boost courtesy of that Stage 1 map. No wonder the vendor confirms that “it goes like a rocket” and judges all mechanical systems as “excellent.”
Registration – RS63 BBBChassis No. – WUAZZZF27NN900501M.O.T. – September 2025Odometer – 37,600Whilst the Audi RS6 sits at the top of the A6 model lineage, the Carbon Vorsprung is the ultimate offering in the RS6 range. With the “standard” RS6 Avant Carbon Vorsprung already having a retail price today of a shade under £135,000, ‘RS63 BBB’ raises the bar still further with a raft of performance upgrades and valuable extras. These comprise a Stage 2 map, a Milltek de-cat full exhaust system and Wagner performance intercoolers and air intake. The original factory hardware is also included in the sale. These enhancements are reported to take ‘RS63 BBB’s’ power output to over 800bhp and its torque to around 1200 NM. True supercar vanquishing territory! What’s more ‘RS63 BBB’ is a one owner car having covered a mere 37,600 miles to date. An example of the current C8 RS6 model, ‘RS63 BBB’ features the optional Carbon Styling Pack worth many thousands as well as the myriad of standard equipment deemed worthy of the range topping RS6.The C8 version of the Audi A6 arrived in 2019 and remains current today. The RS6 version joined the range, as usual, to become one of the fastest and most capable “cars for all seasons” that it is possible to buy. The RS6 features a 4.0L Twin-Turbo V8 feeding power to all four wheels via Audi’s 8-Speed automatic gearbox. In a non-modified form this configuration is good for a sub four second 0-60mph time and an electronically limited top speed of over 170mph. And all this whist carrying a chest of drawers in the back, should you so choose. ‘RS63 BBB,’ of course, benefits from performance enhancements that will improve on those figures still further.‘RS63 BBB’ presents in Daytona Grey matt effect, another expensive option. This combined with the various carbon fibre accoutrements of that Carbon Styling Pack give ‘RS63 BBB’ a mountain of road presence and more than a little brooding menace. A set of Vossen HF2 alloy wheels in anodised bronze are fitted to add the aesthetic shock and awe as well as to the growing list of expensive extras present. The capacious cabin is exquisitely trimmed in black Valcona leather with a honeycomb quilted design and accompanying RS6 embossing. The level of factory equipment included is extensive, of course. Highlights include a panoramic sunroof, heated front and rear seats, adaptive cruise control and power-assisted door closers. There's also RS Sport Suspension Plus with dynamic ride control. Given ‘RS63 BBB’s’ one owner, low mileage provenance all aspects of the car are vendor rated as “excellent.”In summary:· A superb example current Audi RS6 model in range topping Carbon Vorsprung spec.· Further enhanced by way of high-specification, high-value performance upgrades· A single owner car with a very sensible original mileage and model specific registration plate
