You'd feel right at home, Eevo!
Prince of Darkness electrics (by Lucas, of course)
Self-checking oil levels
Relatively underpowered
And everyone reckons the Jap ones are better!

Just like owning a Landy!!

Eight Guineas for a "sweat wheels" would have been big coin in those days.
I recently watched a brief doco about the Raleigh bicycles and they were an expensive outlay when first manufactured.
Only affordable for the gentry.

Cheers, Mick.
