The resurgent British brand that’s synonymous with Lawrence of Arabia has just revealed a new limited-edition scrambler that’ll set you back £52,000. Bought back in 2008 by Mark Upham and ThierryHenriette, Brough Superior has been back in business for a few years.
The Toulouse-based firm released a modern interpretation of the iconic SS100 in 2016 and last year it launched the Lawrence, a 997cc V-twin tribute to Brough’s most famous customer, T.E. Lawrence. And now it’s just revealed a new model built from the bones of the same bike: the Lawrence Nefud. The Nefud is powered by the same 997cc 88 88 ° V-twin engine which delivers a healthy 102hp and 87Nm of torque, but it gets a whole host of scrambler goodness, including a more upright riding position (thanks to some wider bars and lower pegs); a 19-inch front wheel (and 17-inch rear) with Michelin Anakee tyres; twin upswept exhausts; a bash plate; a fly screen; a headlight grille; and a special rust-red paint job.
Although it looks the part, don’t expect to see many Nefud’s thrashing about in the dirt as there’s only going to be 188 of them built.
