The Brough Superior Golden Dream is one of the most valuable motorcycles in the world. It is the sole example of the show model for the 1938 exhibition at Olympia. Hand-built by Brough and Freddie Dixon, the Golden Dream has two pairs of horizontally opposed cylinders, one above the other, with two longitudinal crankshafts to give vibration free running. The two crankshafts shafts are geared together, with one driving the mag-dyno, and the other driving the rear wheel. Two Brough Dream Fours were built but World War II stopped development. The second Brough Dream has a black and chrome finish and is privately owned. [source is Wikipedia]

Several Brough Superiors - the "Rolls Royce" of motorcycling - are to be found in this area. The closest in an example of the SS100. To obtain this designation, during the test driving before delivery a speed of 100mph [160kph] had to be recorded. For the SS80, the relevant speed was 80mph. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brough_Superior
