1977 Raleigh Competition GS?

So a co-worker of mine recently bought himself a new bike and is wanting to sell his old road bike. He knew it was a Raleigh when he purchased it but had no idea of the model as it had been repainted by the original owner. So with the serial number (WP7000538) and comparing the bike to others I figure that it's a 1977 Raleigh Competition GS. Anyways he wanting to sell it so I thought I would post some pics and see what everyone thinks.
Thanks

I think you're correct on your ID.

By what everyone thinks, you mean what it's worth? Repaint definitely impacts value IMO. No Brooks saddle. Has the useless, but collectible Camapgnolo aero bottle/cage and a silca. That bottle looks terrible on the bike IMO, I'd sell it.

I'd day at this time of year, on my CL, 300-350. For a no hassle, no dealing with buyers friendly sale between friends, 200-250 seems right.

If if you're asking what I think as a rider, nice frame, I'd rather have 80s japanese parts. Not a fan of the Weinmann parts at all. In terms of quality and utility it's pretty similar to the 80s all arounders in the frame, but probably a bit more valuable. It has potential and versatility. To me this screams modernize/Frankenstein. It has minimal collector potential since it's not top end and it's a repaint, so I'd look at the utility.
