Still not surfaced

Just over a year on this bike has still not surfaced, a clue from the actioneer after the sale, suggested it had gone to someone in South Cambs, but if so they have tucked it away in a shed & kept stom about it. Not even turned up on eBay

Just bumped this one up again as I have recently heard from the original owner, Clem Birmingham living locally near Cambridge. he said he bought the bike new from Claude Scott, Cambridge. I had it supplied by Lee & Coville, maybe someone could confirm which dealer from dispatch records frame number 60/1748
This bike has still not surfaced since being sold from the late Dave Scotney's estate in Oct 2013 by Cheffins
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THIS BIKE IS.

Looks like it must have passed onto Claude Scott as Clem said he bought it from there. I think the two dealers worked together a bit.
