Looks like a Prestige! I agree with @brocklanders023 making the point that a halfway P7 is unlikely due to tube diameter changes.

How much travel do you need? Got a 1998 Marzocchi Z3 or a Manitou Mars

Camping break at Wareham, biking in the Purbecks and paddling on the Frome.

A heavy object parked next to a Churchill AVRE near Juno Beach in Normandy.

Here are the pedals, say £20 posted? Clips are somewhere in a toolbox, no corrosion or flaking. I can add some black leather Christophe straps too. One end cap is an MKS one.

Just measured, slack they are 26" round (13" flat) at the waist with no stretch, so that seems like 28" waist to me.

Here you go. I will find a new M7 bolt to replace the one missing in the pic.

Certainly there are also transition models - clearly they evolved stuff with small differences between production batches. My P7 has 96 decals (round orange script) and date code but a canti hanger like a 95. So I agree, it may well be some kind of halfway model.

I agree, not sure the sleeved seat tube is right for a P7.

You are welcome to some unused bibs, passed on to me and too small - just postage will do.

Looks like a P7 to me, where someone has removed the lacquer and polished the nickel plating. My guess is 1994, the decals are wrong, but you know that already. 1" headset I presume? However I'm not sure about the seat clamp / seat cluster detail, which looks earlier. Have a look in the Archive...

I'd have thought £10-15. 6 speed or 7? 6 speed seems generally to be far less wanted.

Campag Gran Sport with MKS clips any good? Buttery smooth.

Should have one, DH style chunky thing. £8 posted. I'll dig out a photo.

It looks to me like the stem could go up a bit - do that then rotate the bars. They generally look right when the hooks point somewhere near the rear hub. Then you may have to reposition the levers I'm afraid.
