I hope the TT is fine :) sorry for the consternation, lol
The Hobbs not too sure yet, I have contacted the VCC ME to see what he thinks. I seem to read J7xxxx on the n/s dropout, if I'm correct that would make it a 1947 - that would be a bit earlier than I (and you) was expecting it to be, so time will tell. I guess I have to pull the forks to be sure
No bother, the top tube looks to be fine.
1947 is early for a Blue Riband, none the less it has "Superbe" lug work so it must have been the top of the line model.
Its a great colour! a good polish, change the derailleur and your good to go.
