I have the frame I bought off Hilary Stone last year (https://www.lfgss.com/thread43326.html) that is a bit small for me. Needs to go soon, so £50 F+F?
HELYETT? ROAD FRAME c1983
Seat Tube (ctc): 54cm
Top Tube (ctc): 53cm
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 700C with brake drop of 45mm
Frame tubing: Probably Reynolds 531C
This is a really very beautiful road frame quite possibly built by Bernard Carré for Helyett who were by the 80s owned by another company. by this period but I would not be at all certain. But what is certain is that this frame is really very nicely built... The very chunky setstays and partial wrapover seatstay tops are very typical of Bernard Carré’s work. Threads are British and the seatpost size is 27.2mm. A really understated frame.

Edit: Frame, forks and headset, that is. I'll be stripping the 8 speed campag gruppo in the next few days.
