I can't help you, nice project though. I'm only posting to comment that the bar taping technique used is somewhat unusual!

Mercian, just a guess. Time period dated from the lugs, introduced in the 50's. What's oh the front would help. BCM by any chance?
@Minterbike whats the frame number on the bottom bracket & what's the outside diameter of the tubes?

Thanks so much for help so far, here is serial number and headtube....it looks like it said genuine VIC ...?! I've no idea as it looks like an original old transfer...but as other parts are of quality for the era, I.e Brampton pedals,williams crank and looks like Dunlop rims, Nervex lugs it I feel it must have been someone like Taylor or Mercian..any more help would be great, thanks.
