Title: Raleigh Identification
Post by: Mick_Arnold on June 03, 2007, 10:42:09 PM

Can anyone help identify the model of this bike. Ridden by my grandmother in the 1920s.
She won hill climbs in Porlock Somerset UK on this bike
Also does anyone know of a way of tracing the bike or number plate to see if it is still in existance.

Many Thanks

Mick Arnold

Hello Mick
I think that it is a 1922 or 24 Sunbeam

Mick,
I have checked with the DVLA and this registration number is no longer recognised.
