Hi! I´m new here. Searching for classic raleigh and this forum came up.
Image is from an ad and not very informative. Been searching the web and it looks a bit like a raleigh sport but rear light doesn´t fit (maybe changed) and the pump position isn´t right either.
Anyone who knows?

Hi Vargen. You're right, it doesn't look like a Sports.
With the wrap-around seat stay and Bronze green color, it may be a '67 or '68 5-speed Sprite.
What is the wheel size?

Apart from the horrible seat cover it looks like a decent bike. The rear light is almost certainly a later replacement. I'd get rid of the seat cover, remove the rack, replace the rear light with something more appropriate and ride it.

Thanks! I´m not sure about the wheel size but the ad says 3 speed. Forgot to mention that in the first post. Price is approx. $45 so I guess it´s a good deal. I will definitely change the seat cover, maybe even the saddle.

Not likely a Sports given the lack of the thimble crown fork, but that paint scheme and downtube decal style make it likely some 1960s model. Knowing the wheel size would help.

That's an odd duck. Sorta like someone took an old Record or something and and old Sports or something and put them together.
$45 is a good deal, whatever it is.

It does look like it has two downtube shifters on it, whcih would point to it being a 5 speed Sprite with the Sturmey Archer S5 5 speed hub. If this is the case, the rear hub by itself is worth at least double the asking price.
