Vintage Raleigh 'Sports' Bicycle c1932

I haven't posted in a while due to work, a fairly long holiday and family events, however I recently dug out my old faithful Raleigh 'sports' c1932 ready for a local 'tweed run' in a month or so.
I bought the bike locally a year or two ago and though it looked ok-ish it actually required quite a bit of work.....it needed the wheels rebuilding, the gears setting up, 'new' head and bottom bracket bearings as well as a general tidy up.
Here's a few photo's;
