Ha, no way! Just saw your post here, I wrote him a message half an hour ago, saying that I have friends in Vienna and Innsbruck who could pick up the bike from him so that he wouldn't have to take care of the packaging and shipping himself, provided the bike is located in either of these cities which it is probably not. Frankly it's ridiculous to post it to the UK, not only for the shipping prices but also due to the fact that it's fairly easy to get reasonbly priced track bikes in the UK, whereas in Germany and Austria Prices are way more inflated. In the UK, the 170€ would make it a fair Price, in Germany it is an absolute steal!

These are the framesets built around 1970s, if this is true and no other types of track frameset were made (but surely they had made some on order), then this should be a nice 531 quality frameset:
Here are the models from the 1970's in ascending order of quality:
Model 58, 68, 64: Junior Racer, smaller frames and wheels
Model 70, 71: Black Diamond, seamed tubes
Model 74: E.C., seamed tubes
Model 82: Super Tourist, seamed tubes
Model 88, 89: Super Tourist Deluxe, Reynolds 531 plain gauge seamless
Model 80: San Remo Cote d'Azure, Reynolds 531 plain gauge seamless
Model 78: Olympic, Reynolds 531 plain gauge seamless
Model 92: Super Route, Reynolds 531 plain gauge seamless
Model 90, 94: San Remo, Reynolds 531 double butted
Model 96, 98: San Remo, Track Bike, Reynolds 531 double butted
Model 76: San Remo, (aka Equipe or Professional) Campagnolo NR, Reynolds 531 double butted
Also 1970s catalogues shows this was indeed the only track model (but called Model 98) and it was in 531: http://www.velobase.com/Resource_Tools/DownloadFile.aspx?Path=%2fCatalogScans%2fFalcon.zip&FileName=Falcon.zip
but it doesnt' look the same. Also the headtube lugs look kinda fancy and more Nervex than Prugnat.
