Hello Eric (Tarbyarmy) yes I got your email and yes I saw this on ebay.
I'm not 100% sure its a Claud so have posted your pictures here in the Holdsworth Claud thread as the number 2733 would suggest a 1959 model post take-over, maybe someone can shed some light on it.
As I said, I'm not sure what it is, but what we do know is that out of the five bikes advertised in 1959 (Challenge, Coureur, European, Olympic & Cordon Bleu) it's definitely not an Olympic or Cordon Bleu.
They did have a few odd bits and bats, tubes and lugs in the receivers pile, but none of these look like anything off of the original Clauds and I don't recognise them from any of the holdsworth Clauds either....but then they may have been trying out different suppliers etc on the lower end models.
The metal head badge is correct for 1959-1980, the seat tube graphic is wrong as its from post 1979 and also the down tube signature is from pre 1956 and the chrome job is aftermarket.
Sorry if that's all a bit doom laden.... It should build up to be a nice bike so don't be downhearted.
If it were mine I'd clean up the rust spots on the chrome then get it re-sprayed with a translucent "flamboyant" coloured lacquer or "candy" paint directly over the chrome, it will sing in the sunshine!
