Well i dont really know anything about bikes but i went and got one anyway..
Its a Team Dawes Racer (mid 80s i think)
Needs a bit of work, the rear deraillier (Sachs Huret Eco) isnt keeping the chain tight so the chain slips when you try and ride it

:(
Think it could possible be something as simple as replacing this spring thing..?

From my untrained eye this is what it looks like as i can pull the derailler back by hand which makes the chain tight
but then when the pedals are moved round it quickly slops backforward making the chain slip again. If it is the spring where could i get a replacement from?
