Lovely looking bike. Only downside I can see is that it's a tad too high-geared for a fully laden touring bike. It really needs a triple chainset and a minimum 28T rear sprocket (those could be retro-fitted, but would cost, of course). Braze-ons on the forks for a front rack would help too - along the lines of a Dawes Super Galaxy or a Raleigh Randonneur of the same period.
Would make a good Audax bike, though and perfect for the E'roica Brittanica.

Good luck with the sale.
