Dear forum members,
My Uncle has just saved this old Raleigh bicycle from being scrapped. He was told that the bicycle was used by a relative for ARP (Air Raid) duties during the 1940’s
Can any one kindly advise what model this bike is and how old this bicycle really is and a rough value if possible. We look forward to exhibiting the bicycle at the West Somerset Steam Rally next year
and would like to know if it’s best to restore or leave as original with an oily rag.
Kindest regards,
Mark Towers
