Help-Not sure what type of bike this is

Just wondering if anyone knows what type of bike this is, because the model name was rusted off the top bar when i got it and restored it.
The bike has Reynolds 531 Forks and frame, and has weinmann brakes, and it had town handlebars when i got it if that's any help. Also, it has Suntour shifters and rear derailleur.

Any help would be appreciated, and somewhere to buy replacement vinyls would be good.
Thanks.

It's a Dawes, says so on the downtube. Flip it around so we can see the drive train.

Reynolds 531 is the good stuff. Are the shifters straped on or braze on? If thay are braze on then I dont think the town handlebars were original.For replacement vinyl(seat?) check the thread here c&v friendly bike shops thay may have some good old stuff or try ebay there are a couple leather brooks sadles going cheap right now.
