Interesting. I imagine this must have been one of those showroom bikes. It seems later on they were sold in the Raleigh magazines, but I imagine a '61 model was before that happened. I did spot a model that looks near identical in that well-known Raleigh factory video. You'll see a young factory worker pick it up here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaxRQ...tu.be&t=16m31s

Any clue what they go for sailorbenjamin? I see a similar '61 Rudge - lower spec and with a painted finish - going for $1,500 on eBay, but I know eBay prices aren't always near real value.
