I think Worksop was closed in 1974 but they continued the W numbering anyway. My 1978 Competition GS is a W number but I believe it was built in Islington but I could be wrong.

I'd try to date it by the components but I think it may be early 80's. I don't know some of the higher end bikes were sourced from Raleigh in the UK in the Huffy days or it could also be a bike purchased in Europe for a trip.
