Venerable British sport and luxury car manufacturer Aston Martin has teamed up with revered British sport and luxury motorcycle manufacturer Brough Superior to create a limited-edition track-only sports bike. And, not surprisingly, it’s absolutely stunning. The two brands share a bit of history.
Both were launched in England in the second decade of the 20th century. Both were beloved by British governmental operatives, though in the case of Brough, it was an actual person, T.E. Lawrence, who rode (and perished) on one of the company’s beloved bikes, and in the case of Aston it was fictional super-spy James Bond. And both have been rescued from the brink of financial despair in recent years, and have gone on to rebound successfully.
