The number is in the right place for a Holdsworth and dates it to 66/67.
The curved brake bridge, prugnat lugs and cable guides also suggest Holdsworth, although I haven't seen one with those drop outs before and Holdsworth seat stay tops usually wrap over a little or completely around the top tube.
It looks as if it has been crashed as there is a ripple under the front of the top tube.
Many thanks for the info. What do the digits signify? Yes, pity about the previous crash and ripple. It can be lessened but not for me to attempt. I shall investigate transfers from 1967 . Possible model or was this custom job with those VDOs?
