Re:

Have a look under the bartape. My suspicion is that it's a repainted Raleigh Rapide without the Raleigh headbadge remounted. The bars may be Raleigh stamped SR. The dropouts might also be Gipiemme. Don't take my word for it as i'm purely guessing. Good Look.
 
Re:

Highly likely to be a Revell Rapide but could do with better pictures , they were sold in the Freewheel catalogue in the early-mid 80`s . I think it was Madison cycles who produced the catalogue ?

That would be my guess too. I couldn't remember the name, but the head tube logo instantly made me think 'Freewheel catalogue'.
