Does anyone know anything about this Condor?

Just bought "refurbished" Condor from ebay.
Described as "early model 531 tubing frame number 680".
Just wondered if anyone knew anything about it if, indeed, it is a Condor?

TBH, it doesn't look much like a Condor to me, at least, not one of the better hand-built ones. With that full-wrap-over seat stay arrangement it looks more like a Raleigh/Carlton/Sun/BSA frame. Why not have a word with Condor themselves? They might have bought in some cheaper frames at one time and branded them.

Thanks Old Ned, yes as I half suspected. The seller says they confirmed that it was their frame when he bought the decals and headbadge. I have contacted Condor and they are doubtful. I will see if I can get my money back.
