Ebay Australia ANC team bike possibly Malcolm Elliott`s ?

From the pictures it looks to be Peugeot built , I can't see many British frame builders using those simplex rear drop outs . Many pro riders would ride the Sun tour in Australia and also the stage races held in South Africa in our winter . Some winter warmth and sunshine to be had with decent prize money and no European team pressure .
This being the end of the season in Europe some riders would take their well used team bikes and sell them abroad knowing they would be getting a new one for the new year /new season . I bought Etienne De Wilde's team bike a Splendor for 250 euro from the Plum shop in Gent . 89000 pounds ? the guy might as well round it up to 100000 lol !
 
I thought Malc Elliot had his bikes made by MB Dronfield and then stickered up in this era. In Field of Fire many of the team moan about the spec of the bikes supplied by ANC for the '87 TdF - that they were customer spec (I took this to mean 531 as an absolute best and not 753).
 
The ANC 87 tour bikes were Peugeot , no questions. Just ask Adrian Timmis. Peugeot supplied ANC with 753 , Vitus 979 and Peugeots own PY10-FC Carbon frames which were used by Kvetoslov Palov and Steve Swart , the other team members preferred to stick to steel . 531 pro frames were used as spares. All bikes had top spec C Record groupsets ( seat posts were Chorus for some reason ) and Sigma Pave rims.
