Any idea how old?

Got a phone call offering me a bike yesterday, it's a claud butler as far as I'm aware but have no idea what model or how old it is. It's been resprayed and has a mix of newer components Inc. what looks like an eighties 600 rear derailleur and a 105 golden arrow crank. I could only grab one quick pic as we chatted. He's asking quite a lot for it (due to it costing him even more!) , I might consider it if the frame is of any consequence, re-use the parts on another project and respray the frame back to original-ish with more sympathetic bits. When did claud/holdsworth stop using nervex pro?

Ouch that looks sweet!

Need a few more piccies to tell but it looks like an 80s one that has been nicely done/uprated, worth around £200-300 though.

Did they still make frames with nervex up to the eighties? I've just had a little trawl through the Kilgariff holdsworth site and I can't find mention of "continental" lugs (which I'm assuming by the pics are nervex pro) after 1970 (Cordon Bleu frame).
More pics will have to wait until I've (cough: maybe) bought it!
