Bert Levack built this bike in 1922 it has a super sports side valve J*P (80x99) motor that were only produced in a tiny amount, this motor has been verified as the engine that won the 200 mile race at Brooklands in 1923 at an average speed of 83.34mph.. we were lucky enough to be asked to build this bike around the original engine and a few other period correct parts.. everything else has been made in house by myself and my son.

A new project on the bench, we have nicknamed it the boy racer, we are building this Brough SS100 up for our client from parts he has collected over the years.
It’s a mid thirties frame fitted with a J*p jtor motor, Norton dolls head gearbox.
The owner wants it built in racer trim, skinny guards and no lights..
