Attached are some very poor photos of the 1951 Rapide which I bought at auction 5 years ago.
I thought I'd ask if anyone recalls this machine, perhaps has old photos, etc.
I believe it was originally supplied by Ernest Cross of Rotherham to an E Massey. Subsequent owners (all in Nottingham) were Ray Richardson, Alfred Guyler., Malcolm Neville Head, Geoffrey Wright and John Barham Adams. Perhaps not very clear from the photos is it's unusual duck-egg blue colour, which dates back to 1959 at least. That is about all the history I know so any more would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Duncan
