Hi Shaleani
Looks to be either late 70s, early 80's. Model names are often on the top cross tube, I can see the remains of a silver decal, are there any letters on it?
Nice bikes Claud Butlers, but I would say yours looks to be needing a complete rebuild so I'd say £50/£60. Ebay may net you more.....or less, depends on the whims of Ebay
I hope the dog didn't do what he looks like he's about to do

Looks like an 'Electron' from around 1968

I'd say late seventies. The foil-backed decals are current in this '76 catalogue, and most of the components fit a late seventies date:

Weinmann brakes often have a date code stamped on the rear. Worth a look?
Here's a very similar one:

re your help
Thank you.
You have all given me some very helpful information. I will have a look at the back of the brakes and see if any thing more to give from the top tube sticker too.
And i can see the likeness in all suggestions but to be fair the last decent push bike i had was a gt outpost with rockshocks in my teens so im really not the best at this
It would be a full rebuild like you say but worth it im sure.
And me dogs knows better than that, he was looking for a mouse that the cat caught in the field
Many Thanks
