Nottingham built either 1974 or 1984 as far as I know, I would say 1984 because of parts and graphics. There are a couple of experts on here though.
Thanks, 84 sounds right, as far as I can see, the graphics are the last version of the tour de France. The other indicator is that it was supplied by a bike shop, where the earlier version was via the freeman's /Kay's catalogue as far as I can see. It's a smooth ride, if a little unremarkable. I'll be using it every opportunity until it's sold, it's not a bad ride at all
 
Update... Did about 30 miles on it. While it's unremarkable, it's thoroughly competent. Listed it on ebay and sold it to a guy a couple of miles away. He is super happy with his purchase, I'm super happy to have saved it. I won't miss it, but derived great pleasure from saving it and knowing someone else will enjoy it.
