    If you look to the owners right, your left, the gent standing with his arms at his sides looks to be the son or brother of the guy you're speaking of. Same clothes and hat as well I think.

    Interesting to note there doesn't seem to be any "boys" in there. A few younger men, but no apprentices

    I am pretty sure it is an MV Pulman (1953-1956) or super Pulman (1955-1958), and is a 125cc mostly used for daily commuting.
