Brough Superior SS100 Pendine

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The Brough Superior SS100 Pendine was a high performance variant of the SS100 sold by George Brough from the 1920s. The Wikipedia history of the marque says it was introduced in 1927 with a guaranteed top speed of 110 mph, or 180 km/h, and was based on the SS100 but with higher performance modifications to the engine. It took its name from the Pendine Sands in Wales, where Brough Superiors raced in the late 1920s. A Pendine fitted with a supercharger by the racer Barry Baragwanath became known as Barry's Big Blown Brough; Noel Pope bought it and set two Brooklands lap records with it in 1939, 124 mph solo and 107 mph with a sidecar. Sources date the model differently, from 1925 to 1927.
