Chap I knew some years back did this clubman paint job with rattle cans and the box lining by hand.

Lovely bikes, love this style of bike.

Cheers for that!

I suppose the winter will give me chance to brush up on my Ermy Starcher

Look up Peter Kohler, On The Drops, he has listed catalogue specs of every raleigh lenton, and is on here somewhere.
Guessing it looks like one model down from the RRA which was a fine bike in the early post war years.

Yes, spent ages and enjoyed reading that. It would have been my friends grandad who owned this and I think I have most of the parts already if I strip the BSA.

I have a set of 'new' tyres too. Just waiting on the weather to clear so I can sort out what is what.

These look perfect for it

And this will look perfect on it as; A: I already have one, B: I already have one.

Just got to sort out what parts I need and what colour after an appointment with a wire brush
