Mike,
I have a 1958 Raleigh catalog that lists the Lenton Grand Prix as well as a 1959 brochure for it. My 1953 catalog does not list the Grand Prix. I believe that they were the first derailleur equipped Raleighs!

It's one of the gold & white Reg Harris models, and I suspect it's mid 50s but am not certain. Does anyone know of serial number lists for those bikes or the years they were produced?
