Hi all
THANKS SO MUCH for all the replies! so much great info in here. Im glad the picture posted. Ive tried to researching and i agree, we think its 1950's clubman potentially? The serial number has completely worn off the frame so very hard to find an exact year. I've emailed Raleigh and they have directed me to Nottinghamshire archives for more info on vintage bikes.

I am going for a full restoration hopefully, although i have read that the original paint no matter the condition is very desirable for potential buyers, however it is very chipped in most places.

I've also found a brilliant blog which has an old Raleigh cycling book, so need to make my way through this to find more bits of info. Ill attach once ive reached 10 posts
