>I know the seller, John Wilde, and have seen the machine a couple of times
This is a small world indeed... this must be John Wilde of Sidmouth, Devon! We have a cottage nearby in Colaton Raleigh and I was alerted by the local cycle shop to his remarkable collection of RRA's in his sign making workshop. He must have had five there. Later that day he dropped by with a real treasure: his uber rare, restored bright orange 1947 Raleigh Super Sports, the predecessor to the Lenton Sports. John is a real gentleman and generous to a fault.
