Ive relisted this frame due to some folks deciding it was the ideal thread for an argument?
1955 Rotrax Vel D'Hiv
57cm square ctc, 100/110mm spacing, drilled fork, mudguard eyelets front and rear.
Its generally in good condition, it has a fair amount of light surface rust. It also has two dents one under the toptube and a very small one on the drive side seat stay.
Here are some more pictures;

The eagle eyed might notice it says Alan Richards on it but I can assure you that this is a Rotrax. Alan Richards owned a shop in Birmingham called Tower cycles.
Here he is;

The frame number which is stamped twice on BB and once on the fork steerer is 55441. According to a piece written by Hillary Stone on Classic lightweights the '55' is the year of manufacture.

I would like £350
Im located in Tamworth just north of Birmingham, but I will happily box the frame up and post it.
Many thanks
