Top model in the Brough-Superior 1930 catalogue, the SS100 Alpine Grand Sports was billed as 'The Machine for Express Speeds with Armchair Comfort' - the 'Armchair Comfort' bit presumably referring to the cantilever rear springing system in which the whole of the rear subframe was pivoted (as it was also in the Vincent, Matchless Silver Hawk, and New Imperial, to name but three) under the control of friction-damped springs below the saddle. | Top model in the Brough-Superior 1930 catalogue, the SS100 Alpine Grand Sports was billed as 'The Machine for Express Speeds with Armchair Comfort' - the 'Armchair Comfort' bit presumably referring to the cantilever rear springing system in which the whole of the rear subframe was pivoted (as it was also in the Vincent, Matchless Silver Hawk, and New Imperial, to name but three) under the control of friction-damped springs below the saddle. | ||
