Brough Superior 3.5 Litre

The Brough Superior 3.5 Litre was the second and most numerous motor car built by George Brough. When Hudson Canada stopped supplying its eight-cylinder engine and chassis kits in 1936, the cars were fitted with a 107 bhp, 3,455 cc straight-six that still used side valves. A supercharged version was listed with a claimed 140 bhp. The chassis was four inches shorter than that of the 4 Litre, at 116 inches. Saloon bodies were available but most of the cars were open. About 80 were made between 1936 and 1939, a run that ended with the Second World War, which also stopped the motorcycle production at the Nottingham works in 1940.
