Pace wannabe?

Must confess I thought at first glance someone had advertised a Pace not knowing what it was and nearly wet myself with bargain excitment, but on close inspection it definately is not anything of the sort. However, there's more than a passing resemblance especially with the downtube crud catcher bosses as well. Components are half decent so might be something interesting?

Sure I've seen that mentioned on a Facebook group somewhere recently, can't remember what it might have been now though :?

Fulford Cycles in York fielded square tubed race bikes similar to this back in the early 90's. Grannie Gear on eBay sold one about a year ago...
