Bonhams Stafford Sale set a new world-record price for a Brough Superior and for any British motorcycle sold at auction, as the gavel fell at an astounding £331,900 for the 1938 Brough Superior 750cc BS4.
The BS4 was the highlight lot in the collection ‘The Broughs of Bodmin Moor’, which sold 100% to achieve a collective £752,625.
These iconic, rare British motorcycles were believed to have been destroyed, until Bonhams’ motorcycle department discovered the eight machines in 2015 in a remote Cornish village.

Bonhams Stafford sale saw the bikes unveiled for the first time in more than 50 years.
