SHIPPING OFFERED
See the other items I'm selling including two more Minichamps motorcycles.
The Minichamps 1:12 scale model of the Brough Superior SS100, particularly associated with T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), is a detailed diecast replica capturing the essence of one of the most famous motorcycles in history. This model features a black color scheme and includes working parts such as the stand, steering, and wheels. The SS100 was top of the range during its time, recognized for its quality and performance, with Lawrence's specific machine tuned to achieve speeds well over 100 mph—a remarkable feat for the early 1930s.
Lawrence, an iconic figure due to his role in the Arab Revolt during World War I, owned several Brough Superiors, with the SS100 being his last purchase in 1932. He nicknamed this motorcycle "Boanerges" (Son of Thunder) and rode it extensively until his untimely death in 1935, following a high-speed accident. This model, known for its complicated design and manufacturing process, is a tribute to both the motorcycle's engineering excellence and Lawrence's adventurous spirit. The production of this replica was one of Minichamps' most challenging projects, highlighting its significance and the intricate details captured in this scale model.
This piece of motoring history is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of classic motorcycles, serving not only as a homage to the legendary Brough Superior SS100 but also to the fascinating life of T.E. Lawrence. Its detailed craftsmanship and association with such a historical figure make it a unique and valuable collectible.
