Top of the range was the Zacopane road race model (featured here) introduced in late 1949 and named after Geoff Clarke’s Katowice – Zacopane stage win in the 1949 Tour of Poland on a Stallard machine. This bicycle featured 72/71.5 frame angles and 10 speed Simplex gearing, probably the first catalogued British machine to do so. Available direct from Percy Stallard, to special order and from limited stock, or through a network of approved dealers as a frameset or complete cycle.
A rather nice example was offered on ebay in 2017 for a rather hopeful $2000. Again quite fancy paintwork and a decent specification...
The listing gave some history
