Lot 149 | Zoute Concours Auction 2025
Spine No. 063/100
Engine No. AMB001 063/100
The AMB 001 motorcycle, unveiled in 2020, represents the first collaboration between two of Britain's most storied performance marques—Aston Martin and Brough Superior. For the first time in Aston Martin's 107-year history, its iconic wings appear on a motorcycle, realized as a strictly limited production of just 100 track-only examples. Conceived as equal parts high-performance machine and rolling sculpture, the AMB 001 unites Aston Martin's celebrated design ethos with Brough Superior's century of engineering expertise to create an object of rare distinction.
At its core, the AMB 001 is powered by a 997-cc DOHC eight-valve 88-degree V-twin, water- and oil-cooled, and enhanced with a variable-geometry turbocharger and intercooler—the first V-twin turbocharged engine ever offered on a Brough Superior. Delivering an impressive 182 PS against a dry weight of only 180 kilograms, the result is extraordinary performance accompanied by immediate throttle response and abundant torque across the rev range.
The chassis is equal in its technical sophistication, employing a CNC-machined aluminum backbone bolted directly to the engine, with a structural carbon-fiber rear subframe and titanium interfaces to maximize rigidity and minimize weight. A Fior-type double wishbone fork suspends the AMB 001 up front, while a CNC-machined rear swingarm includes a damping system with rocker. A bespoke braking system developed by racing specialists ensures precision and control. The fully carbon-fiber bodywork is finished with hand-stitched leather seating and grips, echoing Aston Martin's tradition of craftsmanship and luxury. Visually, the AMB 001 evokes Aston's mid-engined supercars, its sculptural spine and carbon fin running seamlessly from fuel tank to tail.
As just one of the 100 produced, AMB 001 spine number 063 completed production as a Designer Specification example in 2022 finished with a Sterling Green main body and a Body Gloss carbon belly pan. Additional detail finishes include a Lime Essence lower “V” and front spoiler underside, raw machined spine Satin Black forks and swingarm, Satin Black Wheels, Conker Saddle leather seat with Oxford Tan pads, and Conker saddle leather grips.
Bearing Aston Martin's laser-cut stainless steel wings set beneath the lacquer, AMB 001 number 063 is both a technical showcase and an exclusive collectors' piece offered with its Brough Superior Certificate of Authenticity and Owner's Guide.
