Question on Raleigh Colt vs. Sport

Hello,

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the Raleigh Colt vs. Sport? I have seen the Raleigh Sports priced anywhere from $50-150 dollars. This particular Sport is marked at $300. I asked her to send better pictures the one she had up is dark and you cant see the bike.

Thank you

Many of the Colts I've seen were the smaller 19" models, not unlike this Raleigh made Glider. Lots of pics online. $300? Dreamer.

As Warren says, the Colt was intended for the shorter set. From the '73 catalog:
