raleigh richmond help

Hello, new here so thanks for having me. Looking for parts for two Raleigh Richmond ladies bikes im restoring including suntours alpha 3000 rear mechs and 27 inch wheels. Mudguards would be good too.
Have got the two original derailleurs but they're a bit of a state. In nottingham so can collect or happy to pay postage for parts in the right nick.

Ive got a suntour alpha 3000 rear derailleur and the matching thumb shifter..

and a single chainring crankset (122mm BB) from a richmond lady as well

are you sure it didn't originally have 700c wheels?

Thanks. I've found the spec for the richmond lady and its 27 inch wheels so I assume they were the same. Ive got the shifters and derailleurs, the latter looking a bit more rusty and used than yours. When did yours last see action?

1987... ....?

I stripped the bike last week, then rebuilt it with nexus 8speed wheelset

Like this:

Maybe the mixte ones had 27" wheels and the step-through ones had sportier 700c?

I can do it for £15posted, £20 seems a bit high...

The frames I have are like the one in your picture. I have researched the issue on the inter web and the consensus seems to be that they were 27s not 700s. Can I hang fire on the derailleurs? I need to show mine, and the frame, to some folks at a jumble this weekend before going any further. Thanks for the offer anyway.
