Well certainly not a Pegoretti. Or a Mercian. Maybe a £7k Richard Sachs or possibly an Argos. Steel is about all I can work out from your teaser. Any more clues?

The seat tube in the drawings is the biggest giveaway. British and from a 1930s design.

This is proper Retro,
which ought to mean "in the style of vintage but modern.

There are quite a few nice vintage bikes like this - what's the difference?
