Rear wheel, mudguard and numberplate/light bracket look James but the rest of it looks Raynal Auto to me.

Titled “Tired Runabout” by Artist Nick Ward, Raleigh moped RM 4 Deleted the link it goes to an advert, don't know why that is happening. Search Nick Ward to find it.
To say "the first proofs are identical with the rest of a run." is true in that they would of came from the same master etching. But being pedantic every single print is individual in that ink is rolled on to the etching, the paper/card (probably not the correct word) is laid on then lifted off probably doing 5 at a time, they then go in a press (for several days) to dry. The plate will have to be cleaned ready for another 5 to be done later.
I have a print and the real thing!

Most unusual I would say in that all 5 bikes are still out there somewhere!

Perhaps I would have been clearer if I'd said not all their owners... Anyway, left to right: Bob Whiteman [*], Keith Flood, David Dunton, Michael Flood. Bob and David were roped in for the photo ... the bikes were all from the Floods' fleet. The article is in the August 2003 Classic Bike. When we have runs again you could rummage through the second-hand magazines to see if there's a copy; 50p will be a bit cheaper than the eBay price.
[*] Well, it says 'Whiteman' in the article but I've a nagging doubt that it ought to be 'Wightman'.
