UL 656 – Lawrence’s penultimate Brough Superior motorcycle, known affectionately as George VI – made its first public appearance for around 50 years, when it returned to Clouds Hill cottage as part of the National Trust’s annual Lawrence Week.
The 1929 SS100 motorcycle, on which Lawrence posed in the iconic photograph with George Brough, and on which Lady Nancy Astor rode pillion, has recently undergone a restoration by a master restorer.
Lawrence bought the motorcycle after returning to the UK from his RAF posting in India in 1929, and owned it until 1932.
It appeared at Lawrence Week as part of a rally of Brough Superior motorcycles organised by Alan Payne, of the T. E. Lawrence Society and Brough Superior Club, and Bob Burden, of the Brough Superior Club.
