1960 Dunelt 3 speed

So I found an old Dunelt 3 speed sitting on the side of the road the other day. The SA hub says its from 1960. The bike is kind of beat; the fenders are bent and rub, the tires and tubes are junk, the brakes work somewhat, the grips are gone, the cones in the SA are loose, the wheels need truing, plus a little surface rust on the chrome parts. The frame and fork are good and the paint is still decent. It has the original white Wrights sprung saddle that is in good shape. Is it worth restoring this back to original? I was thinking of stripping it down and doing something similar to the Dunelt pictured, but if it is a rare bike or something a collector would want I think I should restore it and sell it or try to sell it as is. I don't know too much about English 3 speeds.
