I do hope this finds a good home... Clubmans are dandy machines on a ll counts. I should know, as I owned three at one time, representing all th ree variants. And sold them only because of space and their too small for comfort 22" frames. But we did manage one local CR List ride, hosted by Wayne Bingham before he retreated to the wilds of southern Virginia, with me riding my '48 RRA and my next door neighbour on my '51 Clubman, both in

"electric blue".

I am, however, confused as to the reference to a RALEIGH Aero Clubman when

that was the name reserved for the RUDGE badged variant... an altoge ther rarer subspecies in this country for sure. Although not as rare as the HUMBER one.

Anyway, my passion for Clubmans of all makes, brands and types, inspired m e to pen a short history of them for RetroRaleighs which might still be of interest:

By the way, Lloyds has a complete decal set for the Clubman. So restorat ion is tres facile.
