Help identifying Raleigh model, year, and value

[veloholic]

Hi all, asking for help in identifying the model/year/ and value of this old Raleigh that I am going sell for my family. Has a dynamo generator for a front light, 3 speeds, and is in surprisingly good shape for being in a garage and unused for who knows how long. Thanks in advance! Could not find a serial number so if anyone know where to look I will check and edit the post with an updated number.

hello veloholic and welcome to the forum!

wonderful job you did with the pictures

dating -

iirc the transfer set worn by the frame was current 1972-1976 so that brackets things a bit

the shell of the bicycle's Sturmey Archer rear hub is marked with a date which shows month and year - it will look something like 8 72

it is likely to be model AW

model name of bicycle is Sports

brand, condition, completeness and absence of damage are all big plusses for value

will leave appraisal to others more expert
they should be along shortly

there is a fine resource for Raleigh information here, includes back catalogues, serial number information, images & more:

From the US Raleigh catalogue of 1968. But as Juvela said the rear hub will be dated.
