Saracen Sherpa 1984 Vintage Mountain Bikes

[driley01]

Any ideas on the value of our two vintage Saracen Sherpa mountain bikes? We purchased them new in 1984 from The London Bicycle Company.

One is a Gents 21” frame and other a Ladies 19” frame. Both still in original condition and I think with original tyres! We were told when we purchased them they were similar bikes to the ones Nick and Richard Crane used on their “Bicycles Up Kilimanjaro” trip.
Neither bike has ever been seriously used off road, so no cracks or damage to frame or components. Stored unused in our garage for past 20+ years. Pictures of both bikes below. Any guidance on value and how best to sell would be appreciated.

Re:

I sold Saracen Conquest which didn't have the original wheels - but pretty much everything else for £275 on eBay 18 months ago. Prices seem to have eased off recently so £250-£350 each maybe? Don't be surprised if you get offers £150-£200.

Many thanks for the reply Splatter Paint. I have just listed my two Saracen's (one is a 21" frame and the other a 19", originally sold as a Ladies bike) on Ebay with a starting price around your suggestion: see Ebay listing title "Vintage 1983 Saracen Mountain Bike"
