Can you identify early 70s/80s Raleigh?

Thank you for the date bagpus, just before my first foray into proper cycling began with a Carlton Cobra......and not a suicide lever in sight

Back to the matter in hand.

"I reckon it might have been an International or a Professional. Of course you know the problems with relying on, and retreiving, memory."

he knows me so well.

Is he right? Green ?

Hmm . Just had a look at a 1960's Raleigh catalogue . Back then they built a couple of bikes that relly stand out. New old stock?
The first is the Record tour of Britain frame set which was available in racing green . This was a quality frame and sold as a frame set only or as
a complete machine which was available in 5/10 speed and called the Record.
The frames possibly came out of the Carlton worksop factory . I will e mail you a couple of pictures.

The most popular green Raleigh I remember was the green version of the Raleigh Pro Race.

My final thought on this .
Raleigh Clubman.This model name has been used by Raleigh since the 1940's 50's .
Here is a link to a late 70' 80's one.

Raleigh Esprit was metallic green but I think it had straight bars and only 5 speed
