The bike looks great and those tyres look incredible for their age?

That’s a whole can of worms to open! This one is safely mid 1980s onwards, not one of the first. The Araya/S&G Muddy Fox ranges started a few years before this bike and other brands/builders before that. Not sure of the exact year but around 1986/1987 I’d guess.
