Yes Classtime, I have the original Carlton hoods, they have a fair number of scratches from over the years and the hard material, these are much more comfortable to ride with and as you say fit perfectly...

A while ago I joined a Carlton group on FB. Lots of Brits there. I posted the "Annnn" question, and got a quick reply: "Everybody knows those are from 1973!"
Take it for what it's worth. Might be true fact; they might have been "taking the Mickey" out of a newbie Yank. I prefer to think both.

Thanks for that information. I suspected my Competition might be from 1973. Maybe after I get a few more posts on here and I finish putting my bike back together I can post a picture. Michael

Fixed up myself, save for a few details for the LBS. Rear mech is askew because it just got out of the car.

Mostly correct 
The bars are tweaked uneven, and the brake hoods are crustal.
Presently sporting Mavic Module 3 rims with a not matching Shimano front hub (makes me feel dirty).
