The other one, with sky blue tubes and white accents - exactly the opposite of this one - is one of my Grail bikes. But I never see them come up for sale. Here's a photo from an earlier thread by BF member, @jeirvine :
(I hope he doesn't mind me using it here for an example... What a beautiful bicycle!)
I have to wait until I sell some bikes before I resume my search. But someday...

It sure does.
I picked one up at a garage sale, swapped the drive train with pretty fresh XT, put on a front Wald basket with a Swift Sugarloaf bag and Schwalbe Fat Franks.
Makes an awesome urban assault/fishing machine for peanuts.
Competent fire road bike as well.
The trick is finding one that's cheap and isn't beat to death.
BTW Be patient, you'll find one at $100 or less.
A Rivendell on the el cheapo budget. imho

I'm betting the paint job has a lot to do with it.

1969-1970, The Raleigh, Nottingham, England Super Course Vintage 10 speed bicycle.
Wilmington, NC · 2 hours ago ·
$100We have a 1969 to 1970; The Raleigh England supercourse vintage 10 speed bicycle. It has the original leather saddleback seat. The tires are made by Schwinn. There is not a thing wrong with this bicycle, and it rides like a champ. We are asking 100 dollars for it, but because it is vintage, and like new (considering how old it is), we are accepting the offer from the highest bidder..

(And no, you don't want the UO-8, and I don't want the UO-8, (even for the Delrin FD which would nicely replace the broken one on my orange TdF I have yet to thank you for posting here), but someone might want the UO-8?)

I have owned two of the white with blue Grand Sports. I no longer own either of them. I thought they were just okay bikes. I do like the looks of the blue with white versions though.
They are both great looking bikes for sure but you can almost see all the miles and history that bike has on it and the other is just too pristine for me. There is a certain je ne sais quoi about about classy looking older girls I have always loved. I need to put 1000mi on new rebuilds before I really like the look of them.

A few recent finds if anyone is looking.
Looks like a reasonably nice PX-10 frameset with unmolested dropout: https://www.ebay.com/itm/383341979997
Vitus branded 979 frame, looks like it needs a fair amount of cleanup, I think it's about $150 too high realistically, but still semi-interestingly equipped: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254464975544
This Romana - I'm familiar with Romani, but not Romana. Frameset looks like nothing outrageously special, mid-60s maybe?, but posting more because of all the Gian Robert and Balilla hardware, despite it being well-worn. I think price is again probably $150 too high, but what do I know?: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254465005471
This Moulton is awesome: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202863988207
Maybe just novel, NIB Trek 800: https://www.ebay.com/itm/153776020636
King of Mercia at what seems like a reasonable buy-in price if you're hunting: https://www.ebay.com/itm/303419492005
Another Mercian, pretty damn nice, again, seems like a reasonable buy-in if you're looking: https://www.ebay.com/itm/223816971232
Vintage Dancelli: https://www.ebay.com/itm/124023428435
Fairly nice looking Olmo: https://www.ebay.com/itm/143477186996
