Help with a Hetchins

Hi

I'm a new member here but not new to vintage bikes as I have accumulated a few over the years including a Holdsworth Mistral bought new in the early 80s that I cycled down the length of the Nile on (fitted with GP4's!!) - and yes I still have it!
I have a 50s Hetchins which I believe is a Magnum Bonum which I would like to upgrade the current components to ones more suitable for the bike.
I would love to hear what thoughts you have on components suitable for a mid to late 50s bike build and any good sources for those parts (preferably in EU or UK) other than Ebay.
I have always leant towards Campagnolo on my bikes but appreciate that may not be the preferred option here.
I would love to post a picture but as this is my first post I am not able to as far as I can work out - if there is a fix then I will add a photo for information.

Many thanks in advance

Dominic
