@was8V many thanks for your comments which are really helpful and give me an insight into how the retro bike market works. Much appreciated.
£42 for box and delivery is, in this case, disproportionate to the likely selling cost so my first step is to source a suitable box, hopefully from a local cycle shop. Then I'll advertise the bike here initially to see what reaction I get. I'm optimistic that this forum does not suffer the serial flippers of eBay/Gumtree who habitually submit 50% or less offers. Let's see
Thanks to all who have taken the trouble to post advice.
