1924 Raleigh 2 3/4hp

A bit of a mystery this photo - on the reverse is written, 'arrived May 1924 japan'. The registration number is certainly British and not Japanese though and the backdrop, hard to say, it looks fairly British but then again it's just a fence and gate and could easily be Japanese....

The bike itself is evidently a Raleigh, it looks rather like a 2 3/4hp model (350cc) from c1924. A charming and high quality bike that one seldom sees original photos of. Note the klaxon above the petrol tank.
