It's a Grand Prix -( They are easy to spot due to the wrap around seat stays at the Bocama lug, nearest the seat post.)
It appears to be circa '77 with that crank and DR, but I am not familiar with fillet brazing on Raleighs of that era.

Anyway, these were 20-30 steel not Reynolds - one step below the SC, but still a good bike. I hope you bought it for a Yard sale price!
