531 Competition Columbia

Hi, I'm wondering if anybody is familiar with Columbia bicycles? From what I have read online they were made in the same premises as Carlton bicycles in Worksop after Carlton closed, but information is scarce. Not looking for a value or anything, just a pointer on any info really. Will add some photos when I can. All I can say for now is that it has Campagnolo dropouts, is cream, it's 531 comoetition tubing, the lugs are paint lined and the frame and forks are numbered 820143. I'm guessing 1982 and bike 143 to be made? Thanks for any info.
 
Dave Marsh who built for Columbia might still be around, universal cycles rings a bell.

Aside from that its what you have said, the frames were built by ex Carlton employees.
