6 1932 Brough Superior “BS4” (Austin 7-powered 3-wheeler) – $432,000

What an odd motorcycle, one of the ten motorcycles equipped with a motor from an Austin 7. First believed to have been destroyed, the seven remaining unique bikes have two rear wheels and look as if they were meant to have sidecars (like the one pictured). But were set up solo from the start. Originally found in a barn alongside some other Brough motorcycles in various states of disrepair, thankfully this BS4 was complete and sold at auction to become the most expensive bike sold at an auction at the time. Now the bike stands as an odd example of Brough’s ingenuity and also some of the true genius that went into designing the motorcycle.
