From that angle how can you say that it's the 32cc model, Dennis, as opposed to the earlier 26.7cc model?

The 26.7 cc wouldn't have been up to pulling that caravan ! :D

The earlier Cyclemasters  1949/1951 were 25.7cc.
The 32cc units came out in 1952 and had a mag with the lighting coil fitted.
The Cyclemaster in the picture has  lighting fitted and its reg N0 UTA or WTA is later than 1952 so it should be a 32cc unit.
