Here you are, Mr Stilldrillin ...
 
With your talents you should be able to knock this back into shape in a day or so ... quick crack over with an oily rag and you're off ...

Well that's one 'challenge' that I'm not up for. Didn't Lawrence of Arabia have the same model on which he met his end?

...ah no a bit of Googling tells me that was an SS100 he had not an SS80.

An uncle of mine had two Brough Superiors , one after the other.

He told me that they were all made to measure but if Mr. Brough didn't like the cut of your jib, you never got to the top of the waiting list!

Not for me Dave....... 

But, someone will make it beautiful again.

Lovely bike and interesting project. Would love to get my hands on that, but for the estimate I think I'll keep looking for a more complete project.

I too had a retirement project. A '69 Triumph Bonneville.
It went on Ebay, when I realised it was too large a project. The proceeds funded my present workshop and tooling. 

Some more Norvin pics.....  http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,3985.0.html
