Carlton cycles worsop

Hey peeps. Someone knows what type of Carlton it this?

 

[Midlife]

Crespera lugged carlton in Tru Wel tubing. Came badged as various models. Should be a number under the BB or on the seat tube under the binder bolt. Has a rear brazed on brake bridge so possibly a Corsa.

Forks look a bit bent... S

Most probably a Continental, c1971-75

There should be a 6 digit number on the rear LHS drop out, sadly the 68-72 period is hard to pin down exact build dates. If its a 71-75 model the original paint would have been poly aqua green
