You read the OP differently than I do... I read it that it IS a pre-Raleigh Carlton...

Either way, I think any vintage full 531, full Campagnolo is worth consideration for a full restoration... Whether it is cost effective or not may be questionable, but it would definitely be worth considering if the existing components and frame are in good condition.
