That's lovely.
I'm not an expert but the lugs look like it's a "Nulli Secundus" (second to none) model.Hetchins Quick Model Identifier

My late grandfathers 1950’s custom Hetchin has come into my possession. He used to ride this round his parishes (he was a local pastor) across Lincolnshire and Norfolk until the early 90’s we think. It’s had some restoration and changes (not all sympathetic) and most recently had a repaint by Mercian a few years ago back to its (almost) original blue. Exciting to have something like this and to ride it next spring once I can arrange collection. New brake blocks, guards and tyres probably in order as it’s been sitting in storage for a number of years. Some excellent legwork details (excuse the terrible photos…)
