Available as a static display. Awaiting repairs by Michael Brough before riding
The machine, a 1923 model, left the factory on October 7, 1922, sold to a Mr B S Allen of Croydon. The machine was left to the VMCC in 2011 by a long-standing VMCC member, the late David Blanchard from Bexhill on Sea. David had owned the machine since the early 1960s when he had acquired it as a ‘kit of parts.’ The SS80 underwent a full restoration during late 2011/early 2012 by Brough expert Dave Clarke.

Karslake Dreadnought 1902, 430/500cc
In 2020 acting on behalf of the VMCC Board of Directors Bob Clark procured the original log book from a collection in the USA
The 1903 Dreadnought was gifted to the club by Harold ‘Oily’ Karslake, who built the bike, with the proviso that it should be used rather than simply becoming a museum piece. With no clutch and poor brakes, it takes a skilled rider to manage such a machine.
