No, seriously, this is a superbike: Wreck of 1939 model could reach £15,000 at auction... despite having no wheels or exhaust
- Despite having seen better days, this bike could fetch £15,000 at auction
- The SS80 model is named after the superbike's guaranteed top speed
- Was originally bought by seller's father in 1964 but parts have rotted away
It doesn't have any wheels, the exhaust has rusted off and its worn- out leather sprung saddle has seen better days.
But experts say this 1939 Brough Superior SS80, which will cost £25,000 to fix, is a motorbike enthusiast's 'dream come true' - and have tipped the pre-war superbike to fetch £15,000 at auction on October 20.
Ben Walker, from Bonhams, said: 'It was bought by the vendor's father in 1964 and over the years parts have gone missing or rotted away.
'But this is the Rolls Royce of bikes.'
This particular SS80 model - named after its guaranteed top speed - was an object of desire when it was bought in 1964.
