A Brough legend, newly finished
Limited to 188
The Lawrence NPC gives Brough Superior’s two-seater a finish developed for aerospace: Nickel Phosphate electro-deposition. Applied to selected chassis and engine parts, it gives a subtle golden hue that sits alongside the titanium and recalls the nickel-plated tanks of the 1920s.

Built for Two, Finished in Nickel Phosphate
T.E. Lawrence owned seven Brough Superiors, and the marque’s modern two-seater carries his name. Its flowing lines take their cue from the curve of the Bedouin dagger he wore. Each one is handcrafted in Toulouse to its owner’s specification.
The NPC series takes its name from Nickel Phosphate electro-deposition, a process first used to protect reactor and rocket engine components. The coating is extremely fine; it hardens and shields each part while giving it a subtle golden hue. It is applied to a considered selection of the Lawrence’s signature chassis and engine components. The warm grey sits naturally beside the titanium, and the golden reflections recall the nickel plating of Brough Superior’s 1920s fuel tanks, a finish of the era before chrome.
