Got it accidentally.
Well, couple of years this hardware was in my room, and i decided to bring it back to life. And now i love it. Never was on fly with me though.
OK, specs: ICL ValuePlus (seems like mimic IBM ValuePoint naming) - UK brand.
1995, Finland production, factory config:
CPU 486dx2-66
RAM 8MB
HDD 420MB
internal VGA CL GD5428
mobo FIC 486-GAC-V [VIA VT82C486A]

Got it with native cpu which worked at 80mhz as previous owner said, so i think it's not bad cristal, SX911.

Not so far i bought 2x8MB Fujitsu ECC Parity.
Actually i have no idea what it is... something gold there, error correction and so on...

Closer to it, BIOS check:
80486DX2-S at 66MHz
Memory Test : 16384 OK
Floppy drive fail (40)
CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded
CMOS battery failed

Sometimes apears: CPU Unknown-S 75 MHz
As i post in parallel section (video) i want to make front panel like this:
