As much as I'm supportive of a (fellow) 'nago restorer...and as someone who was looking to do the yellow cabling on cream frame, this is a bit 'so close yet so far'.
Whether or not those stickers are period correct (I'm a bit out the game to remember, though the look like the stannard 80's Super decals, whereas your frame looks more like a very early one when the Sport was becoming the Super, if you had used the earlier decals (with the smaller downtube Colnago and yellow headtube sticker) I would have been in heaven (trying to find a pic of one that nearly inspired me to get a re-spray). But still nowhere near £1200 heaven.
That era (pre-seatstay pantographing) just isn't as desirable as the Super/Mexico's that followed. In fact I don't think I've seen one go for 4 figures.
