1971 Robin Hood 3 Speed "Sports Model" Time Capsule

I recently posted this bike in the "love of English 3 speeds" but felt it warranted its own thread. I acquired it at the Canadian Vintage Bike Show last week for $165 CDN. Closer examination has shown it to be a true survivor with little or no changes since new. I found it interesting to find a "Sports Model" with drop bars. The Robin Hood models were sold cheaper than their Raleigh cousins, and it shows in some of the components and paint finishes. It has original cables and perhaps even tires. I did change the saddle to the white one shown in some of the photos. My biggest question is where did previous owner(s) store this thing?
