Ah, this build takes me back.
I had a Countryman brought from Bike UK whose first shop was next to Charing cross station underneath a building in Villiers Street. It was a very noticeable metallic pink. This was in 1983.
Touring bikes hadn't moved to triples or cantilevers yet . TA and Stronglight chainsets were exotica that Chris Juden mentioned in the pages of Cycle Touring.
A lovely bike which I commuted and toured on, including cycle camping or what we now call bike packing.
Looks like a sensitive restoration, especially the Sanyo Dynamo.
