Holdsworth Mistral year and evaluation
I bought this one.
It is equipped with Campagnolo drive train, the rear derailleur is marked 72, Campagnolo hubs. Mafac Racer brakes, Primo Extra bars, Primo Di Lusso stem.
Unmarked head set, seat post.
S.n. 36140
Should it be around 1972...73 made?
Should it be all Campagnolo equipped or not?
Looks to be original paint, but is it?
Are there any catalog pages available online?

Very nice looking bike as for dating based on the components 72/73 seems correct. As for value not really sure but I would guess $500 give or take.

Beautiful bicycle. The paint looks awfully good for that age, but if it was a garage queen, I suppose it is possible. Very shiny though. The Mafac brakes don't seem to be consistent with the '72 catalog. Perhaps they were preferred by the owner and swapped out? Whatever the case it is a very appealing ride.
