Re:

Looks like an el cheapo carrera with those stays.

I'd agree it might be a carerra, but not all were cheap, there were some 531 tubed versions iirc, though can't say if that's one or not as I'd wager it's been repainted as they had splatter style paint jobs I think.

Re:

In that colour Chris it might be a lew ways or a Pacific
Lew ways were sold thru grattans or great universal catalogs years ago
They are better than you'd think to ride , bit heavy tho

The Carrera version was built by / for Saracen
That's the Apollo level of frame and not the same
