That's a Claud Butler Cape Wrath from after they closed their factory in Britain and became an importer of Chinese made bikes. £99.99 new at DW Sports around 2003ish.
Here's the thing though - the aftermarket bits would have easily cost you more than £50 new, and it's had little use. So you weren't ripped off! If you're using it, £140 is a perfectly fair price for a bike that will give you many years of reliable transport. I'd buy it if I needed a mountain bike.
Ive spent about £100 on the upgrade, new wheel, chainset and rear cogs. Rear derailleur broke around same time too. Worth it to make it my ride.
