TE Lawrence will be turning in his grave.

IIRC an SS100 sold for £300.000 + a few years ago so these will be worth SERIOUS cash when restored.

They are the Holy Grail of barn finds ...... BUT 8! OMG!
I wonder if the guy knew what he had when he first got the door open?
It's all about the TT ....

I saw a part of a tv show a while back (think it was that Henry bloke) and they were at Sotherby's for a motorcycle auction, anyway, there 2 Brough Superiors for sale one a complete basket case full of rust and crap and the other was a fully restored gleaming example, the restored bike only made about 5k more than the basket case and both were well up over the 100K bracket (iirc), turns out the enthusiasts much prefer to do the work themselves rather than buy one that's already been restored.
8 of them will make someone a nice little nest egg.
