I saw this on a for sale website. Bought in Holland as a Dahon but not apparently badged as such.

Being sold at a good price but I thought I might look at the equivalent new bike in Fudges, Paddington, UK. So anyone recognise it? Does anyone know how Dahon Holland operate in respect of allowing their factory output to be rebadged?

No it's not Dahon. It looks like Citizen. Check this out:

I think you're right, Tommy. Those reflectors on the wheels and the dual-coloured chain wheel are the real giveaways - Citizen Miami looks startlingly similar here:
