The Brough Superior XII was the last and rarest of the cars built by George Brough in Nottingham. Made in 1938, it used a Lincoln-Zephyr V12 engine of 4,387 cc in a chassis of Brough's own design, with Girling brakes and Ford axles, instead of the Hudson running gear of the earlier cars. Only one was made, with a saloon body built by Charlesworth. It was a large car, 219 inches long and 71 inches wide, and it still survives. Although three chassis were reportedly laid down, only this one car was completed, so the XII is a one-off rather than a production model, and it closes the short story of the Brough Superior marque as a car maker before the war ended its work.
