Help required - bike identification, history etc ...

Hi - new to this site but after some help ...

I own a 80's or possibly late 70's(?) Poulidor racer - all silver Steel Vitus 999 frame with what I think is either a Motobecane or Merciert badge (MC emblem) under the headset. I have had this bike a while now, picked it up on E-bay but don't know much about it. It looks to have had the components overhauled & replaced.
A basic search Google tells me all about Raymond Poulidor (always 2nd) but I can't find much about the bikes that carried his name.
Has anyone got any other information, or know where I could look for more information or even better does anyone else own a similar bike?

I will aim to get a pic posted up soon.

Thanks
 
Following my post yesterday I did another search on the internet & amazingly found an advert on a French site selling the exact same model as my bike!

Mine looks pretty much the same, except for the saddle. Having owned the bike a while this is the first time I have every seen anything about it.
Still not sure of the manufacturer though.
