This is intriguing:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-...577388?hash=item5911413cac:g:76UAAOSwGL1bcWSZ

A tiny bit of research suggests it could a 1968 Carlton/Raleigh Mark I Professional or then again it could something completely different... either nice frame with a mix of nice parts. Probably resprayed by Jack Taylor at some point.

a "Raleigh Condor" £30 in Sidmouth:

Unusual seat stays for Carlton they usually went for a wrap round that didn't quite meet in the middle, Flyer style.

 

[Specialeyes]

For those on TheSaleRoom.com or near Leyland in Lancashire, there's a very nice looking AS Gillott listed as a Raleigh (with an estimate of £10-£20!) here

There's a very nice Claud Butler 3 lots earlier (£20-£40 est) and an equally nice Mercian 2 lots later.

If I was up that way for work I'd be keeping schtum and bidding on all 3

True - there's a big chance that I'm wrong! My research was pretty cursory and basically involved googling "Nervex lugs Zeus dropouts" and one of the things that cropped up was a Carlton Professional and the frame number (C2763) would fit as a 1968 Carlton build according to this:
http://threespeedhub.com/raleigh-professional-1972-mark-iv/

other Raleigh/Carlton possibilities would be an International or a Competition. But it could be something completely different...
