How Much is This Paris Worth?

I'm considering selling a Paris (please see the below photo) and wondered what I should ask for it if I do sell it?



The bike is in original condition and has not been ridden for about 25 years. I haven't found another one on the web with this colouring so I don't know it's value.

Take more and better pictures if you want much help. Need to know what components are on it, pics will help. Especially from the drive side. Interesting bike and I'm sure the frame alone will interest many. Personally, they don't do much for me, but non-traditional frames are hot in some circles.

Also, when and if you advertise the bike, make certain to provide historical information regarding the design and the builder. Lots of info available online. That information will help generate interest in the bike. Many C&Vers already are familiar with your bike's history, but many will not be.

The frame size is 23 inches and the frame number appears to be 5105 which I believe is a fairly early example. I've taken some more photos and they are shown below so any advice will be appreciated.



So if anyone has an idea what I should look for as a price I'd be grateful.
