John Lennon’s uncle bought him a green Raleigh Lenton in 1952 after he had taken his 11 Plus school exams.
I bought this similar one. It’s in superb restored condition. This one was purchased in 1954 for a lad on his 13th birthday, so the circumstances were similar. It was kept by him until he passed away this year.
