In 1989, the Raleigh Kelloggs Pro Tour was a respectable entry level bicycle. No where near top of the line but far from the bottom too. They were fairly popular in GB and there are still a lot of them to be found. I don't have an MSRP, but a comparable bike in 1989 would have cost in the area if 330 Euros. I haven't ridden that particular model Raleigh but I have ridden a lot of other models of Raleigh from that era and the steel frame bikes were very comfortable and gave a good predictable ride.
