Hoping to pick up a 70s Carlton tomorrow.....or at least I think it is? 😁🤦

So all I have to go on is a single dodgy pic on an advert.
The picture is of an old bike in a barn with the head badge removed. Looks to have been repainted.
I am guessing it is a low/mid range 5 speed 70s Carlton.
I really want it for the wheels to go on a Holdsworth I have. However if it turns out to be a nice Carlton frame I may not use them for it?
Anyway before I get it and add pics does anyone want to play a fun game of "Guess what Carlton it will be?"

Well that would make it easy lol

Here you go ...very plain lugs so i am not expecting the frame to be top end by any means.

Or just 10 speed ready? No LH gear lever, only one front chain ring and no front derailleur.

A lot had the braze on stops you could buy 5 or 10 speed of the same model, Circuit, Stadium for instance.
