Sorry I was way off it's not green at all. I have uploaded some pics I guess it's a 5 speed as well

Very nice unmolested original, early 70's I'd say.

Still not sure of the value maybe it's not worth much. Thanks for the color etc

They actually ride very nicely, why not give it a service and what in the UK would be called an 'Oily Rag Restoration' and use it yourself.

If you do sell it make sure to stress 'original or unmolested' as they are quite a rare bike over in the Americas and unlike the later rebadged Raleighs sold in greater numbers it is a Worksop bike with those 'wrapover' seat stays and that Brooks looks to be in good nick.

Great info. Thanks again

I have a Poly mauve Corsa, they were introduced in 1969, they changed from this colour to poly aqua green around 1972/3. Yours does need a little love. Ill tray and grab a pic of mine when I get a moment.
