You may find it's best to offer this split into its components. It has some good parts, and is a pretty lovely frame & fork. The wheelset with blue hubs, say, might well sell nicely here or on ebay, but perhaps not with this blue frame.
Not sure where you got the Columbus mixed with 531 info, but the sticker says 531 Competition, which is a slightly lighter 531 type than ordinary 531, possibly made with shorter butting or lower thickness of tubing wall as standard.
If you do split, remove the fork and check the steerer and frame numbers match, will add a little provenance if they are the same.
It looks very nicely made, with lightweight minimal lugs. The fork is also really nice. Definitely chromed. It might be good to try and figure out who actually built it, too. I think Tom Board was making frames for Condor in the 80s, a well-regarded London builder. Also Dave Yates built a bunch of Condor frames over the years. A little research with the frame number might bring something to light.
Good luck with sale and however you choose to sell. And if you it seems like you're selling too low, consider keeping it, buying some drop bars and attach another stem, ride it to your local velodrome, switch out the bars removing the brake, and use it how it was built to be ridden! It's really, really good fun. You'll need some clip-in pedals or toeclips/straps too. ;)
