I have had this since it was new, I think 84-85.... anyway it was screaming at me to take it for a ride so I put about 75 miles on it .... Still smooth as silk
There are still alot of big artisan steel builders in the UK. I would love a frame in Reynolds 953.
One of the current guys in the limelight is Ricky Feather.
He does some awesome work.

Also, there is the likes of Tom Donhou, Brian Rourke and a few others as well who all built bikes for the Rapha Continental.

Related to this topic, but there is to be a new Under 23 race team in the UK next year who are to race on Reynolds 953 Steel race bikes, apparently to hit the UCI 6.8kg limit too!

I've been riding this for the past year:
1993 Bridgestone RB-1 w/ SRAM.
Its super comfortable, because I have 25c Continental GP 4000S installed with the already comfortable steel frame.
I did a write up of the build here: http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=105552

And if I ever meet an aardvark, I'm going to step on its damn protruding nasal implement until it couldn't suck up an insect if its life depended on it.
