Hello Nigel, The Club Special on the mudguards has nothing to do with the model, they are Blumells Club Special guards. Lugless Claud's are really difficult to identify and by the look of the pictures it doesn't look to me like an International Club if it still has its original front forks. It could be a Buccaneer, Closed Circuit, International Club, Brevit, Super Velo, Miss Modern, All Rounder, Coronation or Jubilee. All were of welded lugless construction. Best thing to do is get the year from the frame number and look on this excellent site. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nkilgariff/

Thats all for now. Keep those wheels spinning, in your memories if not still on the road. Be lucky Mick Butler Huntingdon UK.
