Nice captions everyone. I'll do this again and offer a prize next time.

Down to history. As Sam has said it is called the Opperman and riding it it in this photo is Sir Hubert Opperman and his wife. The date is 9 Nov, 1933. Read more articles from this search.

There's one of these beasts in Bernie Jones Cycles at the moment. Frightening to look at, obviously not to use. Maybe I should suggest one to SWMBO.
