Check the link I posted - if it is a '79 then it was the top of the range in the catalogue, but they did higher end custom order frames (including Reynolds 753).
Definitely a nice bike, I'd love to own it, but my intuition told me it was not special... that it was like so many Peugeot... like they are so many Raleigh here. Just like Raleigh, Peugeot and MBK sometime did the equivalent of Raleigh special products, and they are really nice... maybe I was being too demanding / pedant and was expecting this instead of the super competition... which just I looked into after checking your link... actually very nice with the full spidel group!
