Brough Superior motorcycles, sidecars and motor cars were made by George Brough at his Brough Superior works on Haydn Road in Nottingham, England, from 1919 to 1940. The motorcycles were dubbed the Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles by H. D. Teague of The Motor Cycle magazine. Approximately 3,048 motorcycles in 19 models were made over the 21 years of production, and around a third of that production still exists. T. E. Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia, owned eight of these motorcycles and died from injuries sustained when he crashed one.
