Does anybody know what this is?

I'm sure I've seen a bike like this on here recently. There are no badges on it, just a damaged decal saying 'Birmingham 5'. It's probably the supplier.

Looks like a Raleigh pr BSA Shopper?
Could be wrong. Not seen the tubing like that before.

It’s Vindec Vogue shopper bike by Brown Brothers. Sometimes rebadged as a Royal Enfield Revelation amongst others.

There will be a date stamp on the SA hub to give you an approximate idea of age.

No - I looked for one but ended up with an Elswick-Hopper Cosmopolitan; similar concept though and you might see it on Saturday.

That’ll be good. I hope the weather is a smidge cooler on Saturday.

Beaten to it by @EltonFrog - I worked for Brown Brothers between 1991 and 1996. We didn't sell bikes at that point.

@Chris S Have bought that bike?

No - I don't have room for another one. It's a pity because it's local and has a £10 starting bid.

If someone gets that for a Cockle, it'll be a deal, a steal, the sale of the century. A lot of bike for a tenner.
