Thank you for this thread -- following it has been a real treat. Lovely machine, very British.

As found when purchased as an abandoned project for £5
Back home put back together
After seeing a hint of Green paint underneath the Black, it was decided to go back to Green. I also found some more period mudguards.
Repainted in Buckingham Green and as it appears now

The front head of the Mystery bike, there are two of these rivets, one either side
A source image which leads me to think this could a Sun bike, due to the rivets
A confirmed Sun (this one a Tandem) which appeared on Facebook group I’m in.
