Just had a look at my Brompton Electric and it's similar; never noticed before.
Also, the bit in front of the tyre joining the tyre two chain stays had a massive dent in it on one of my other Bromptons!
Squircle-
Thanks for checking! I've also looked around some forums and apparently it's normal, also the middle of the tyre lines up with the brake hole so I'm relieved.
Front wheel still sits quite skewed, I'm starting to think the cutouts of the dropouts aren't equally deep, might need some filing but gonna ask customer support first what to do.

So I've just got my brand new A Line, and and the rear stays look fucky. I guess the design is asymmetrical seeing the dimple for the tyre, but is it normal to have such minimal clearance on the drive side chainstay? Can anyone confirm it should look like this?
I've got to say I'm not all that impressed with the overall build/assembly quality. Front wheel was sitting waaay skewed in the dropouts (and the front fork's O.L.D. is at least a cm wider than the hubs), rear brake cable housing is at least 2 cm too short, and both brakes had about 0 lever throw. These are all fixed bar the housing.
