1974 model, based on decal and first digit of serial number.
The fork crown looks exactly like that of my 1962 bottom-of-the-line Bianchi Corsa, and the downtube decal resembles that of my 1981 Bianchi, but it has under-BB cable routing and Bianchi decals on the seat tube, as well. Clear closeup photos of the various decals, particularly the one mentioning the tube pedigree, would be very helpful.

hello bikestuart,

welcome to the forum. this frameset is the Rekord model and looks to date from the early to mid 1970's.

the frame is constructed with Agrati "Roma" pattern lugs and bottom bracket shell. the fork tips and dropouts are likely Agrati "Racer" pattern; they have no markings.

this model enjoyed quite a long production life and there are changes from year to year. you can see some of the iterations by checking google images for "Bianchi Rekord."

the forum had a recent thread on one of these you may wish to explore -
