Looks quite tidy as it is :cool:

Is there tape wrapped round the seatpost or is it just scratch marks?

It looks quite tidy The problem with it, its not shifting gears properly. Worn jockey wheels and chain I think? plus all the bearings sound a little rough. And yes its black tape around the seatpost it was looking a bit scratched and rusty looking
 
This bike looks mint - just the kind of retro steel that needs recognition - loving the pink/black and the fact its British Eagle. from the looks of the drive chain (mint) I would check the gear adjustment (cable tension/derailiure end stops) before replacing anything.

Awesome.
