Not to jump on any bandwagon's mate but I agree with John, it's not an Elite and thought the same when it was up on Facebook.
If it is a prototype you really need the proof if you want any chance of shifting it. At the very least the decals have been changed as they were not using that down tube font in 91 so they have been added later.

I’ll find the email, thank you
I didn’t actually disagree with John though to be fair, if anything I did appreciate the input, its just the manor in which I read what he said why I got my back up. it’s my dads bike so I think I’m gonna let him sort it out to flog
this ain’t worth the hassle, then he can put the email on he got too

Well, 94 would fit just about with the decals but the 94/5 Elite 2 was skinnier, not fatter and cracked all the time! What's the serial number?

Number suggests November 91. That means it's not 2nd gen or a later frame. Prototypes don't usually have serial numbers and by the end of 91 the Elite was well past proto stage I reckon as the finished bike was available for the 92 model year.
So I think we can deduce that it's not an Orange at all, just another frame churned out by A-Pro (Marin was a decent call) and even if it was or wasn't, is never going to sell for £500, which doesn't really matter now as it's been withdrawn and the poster deleted!
