Your frame has identical lug work to a project that I'm about to embark upon. My frame is a Carlton Super Course from circa 1980/81 but Raleigh were also building identical frames at the time (I think it was in the crossover period when Raleigh had acquired the Carlton factory) so it could be one of those. But bizzarely I got chatting to a guy in Edinburgh recently whose bike also had identical lug work but he was convinced it was a completely different model so maybe those lug sets were quite popular at the time. If you can still make out the serial number beneath the recent paint job it might help identify it. I'm planning on going with black enamel paint with chrome plated chain stays, seat stays, and forks with these decals:
