I have owned lots of Miele bicycles, so many that I never took pictures of them all. But I do have a few of the three Dorals I have owned and all sported the squared off seat stay top. None of my other Miele bikes sported that feature...
The squared off stay caps were a fairly common feature on the Miele sports models of the very late 1980s. Here's a picture of an Azsora with these caps.

While I wouldn't discount a Doral, a 1988 Azsora is probably a better candidate given that it was available in Ferrari Red and used the Light Action brakes found on the OP's bicycle. However, we'll have to wait for the seat post diameter to narrow things down.
