Surely not the best Holdsworth?

Second best they made in my era which is mid-late 70's ..... one step down from the Professional. Both available as frame only, the 531 Special being about a tenner cheaper. The seat stays being flush / side mitred were unique to the frame and unusual.

As time went on and the Elan appeared the 531 Special morphed into the somewhat less-than-special "Special".

Think this seller has over priced this little light a bit cracked lens and still wants £18.50 plus £3.50 postage? Know i wanted one but not at that price.

i like that , just not sure re the head tube logo and decals look different to other R J 's that you see

I've been (albeit halfheartedly) watching this and puzzling about the stickers, tho it seems to have the right serial no.
There's little doubt it's a very nice looking frame. When did they sell the business?

I'd guess it's been repainted at some point in it's life and new decals added. The original head badge was not metal, so it would have probably been removed prior to being repainted.

Nice, I'll be getting one of those in my size when I can't get my leg over my bike's cross bar.
