We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided BROUGHSUPERIOR UNKNOWN 1934 Registration number: ATO 574 Body type: M/C Combination Colour: Colour Not Stat Cylinder capacity 1100 cc Date of first registration: August 1934 Tax: Not taxed for on road use Date of last V5C (logbook) issued 24 August 1993 April 2019 auction entry, sold for £71,300 inc. premium 1933 Brough Superior 1,096cc 11-50hp Combination Registration no. ATO 574 Frame no. 8/1251 Engine no. LTZ/Z 31972/SD • 1934 ISDT Gold Medal winner • One of only 308 built • Present family ownership since 1965 • Formerly on display at the London Motorcycle Museum • Offered for re-commissioning 'ATO 574' has an unusually rich history: not only did it appear in two hit TV series - 'Dad's Army' and 'George & Mildred' – it started life as a Brough Superior works entry for the 1934 International Six Days Trial (ISDT). A 1934 model manufactured in 1933, this machine is believed to be one of the earliest 11-50s extant. It is believed that this 11-50 was first used by the factory team. Previously carrying the works registration 'HP 2122', it was registered 'ATO 574' on 1 August 1934 and, attached to one of Brough's famous banking sidecars, was used by Freddie Stevenson to compete in the 1934 ISDT held in the Bavarian Alps. One of the most gruelling of motorcycle competitions, the ISDT tested competitors and their machines to the limits. Despite leaving the road and overturning the outfit, Stevenson came away with a coveted Gold Medal, demonstrating the abilities and durability of George Brough's rugged 11-50 workhorse. A photograph on file shows Stevenson astride the Brough at the Nottingham factory. etc /vehicle_25069-Brough-Superior-11-50-1934.html , /vehicle_568499-Brough-Superior-11-50-1934.html |

Possibly made even more famous by its NOT being connected with T E Lawrence. |
