There have been several reportings of higher end butted Dunelt Racers from the 60's on other english bike lists. This was long after Raleigh swallowed them up. I'm thinking someone from the Worksop shops built some bikes and put the Raleigh-owned marque on it for a lark.

Pure conjecture and I'm sticking to it.
