Vintage Velo Sport

I have a Velo Sport Prestige with (mostly) Shimano 600 Arabesque components that I love to ride. As i have seen other Velo Sports available, I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a list of the vintage Velo Sport road bikes showing the models from top to bottom, so when I next see one I can determine where it lies in the heirarchy chain. I hope TMar or RandyJawa will chime in here. I can't pm yet due to # of posts. I'm sure others would know also.
Thanks in advance
James
wonder where the spell check is?

Jawihan - We don't see many of these here in the States but there are a lot of Canadian members that may be able to comment.

Here's a pic if a Velo Sport Prestige (lifted from Randy's site):

I had a really, really nice one that I sold a couple of years ago. It was contract built in Italy (Billato?) and was a step above as far as build detail and even came with the hardwood dowel in the steerer tube (old school). Someone here (TMAR?) told me what model it was but now I can't remember.
