Also interesting that the Sebring is listed as a 5-speed. Thanks for posting this.

Maybe the Monza and Daytona were teen bikes, with smaller wheels and one frame size each? I guess the Trophy was a town bike. No gears mentioned - single speed or Sturmey Archer?
The division of the range into Aerospace and International is interesting - clearly the Aerospace ones have the eponymous frames, made at Potters Bar, but the International ones? Some at least of them had Taiwanese frames - f'rinstance, the 10/s Tulsa I had, which was gold with the lugs nicely lined out in black.

If Viscount/Trusty owned the building, the title can probably be traced to verify. I don't know how that works in England, but in Massachusetts I can log into the county Registry of Deeds, search for a property, and get a list of deeds with PDF links to the documents.

In England the relevant depository of such documents is HM Land Registry. I have explored the website and documents that might have the right information can be downloaded. There is a small charge - I think a flat £3 / document - but there didn't seem to be any certainty that they would contain a history of ownership, so I didn't download any. Perhaps someone here has experience of such searching and could go straight to where the information can be found? Warning: make sure you are on the proper gov.uk web site - there are commercial organisations that mention the Land Registry but charge a lot more for documents. This should get you there, eventually: www.gov.uk/government/collections/how-to-use-the-land-registry-portal |

I remember they were about £50 and am sure my Dad would have asked for a discount as he bought two. Both were 5 speed one with Simplex, and mine luckily came with Shimano. |
