LFGSS.com 1985 Mercian Strada Speciale
At the Mercian website there is a collection of catalogs you can use to compare your bike to the manufacturer's specifications

Downtube shifter bosses suggest an 80s bike, or an earlier 90s frame.
The handlebars are untaped and what I can see looks like galvinised steel, which leans toward 80s.
All I can say is a lugged steel frame from the 80s. Please add a full photo from the bike's right-hand side.

It looks like a well made steel frame that probably has good quality butted tubing and seems to be quite racy with a fairly tight geometry. Looking at the Campagnolo dropouts doesn't tell us much as they were in a long production over decades.

Why the yellow tyre?
Im pretty sure thats a trainer specific tire like this
