Show me your Raleigh's

Hey guys
This is not my bike, and it is not a mountain bike but a Raleigh City bike.
I saw it for sale in a little shop that sells reusable stuff at the local dump and was intrigued by the number of gear-levers.
There are no less than three, and it has a mix of both internal and external gearing from I think Sturmey Archer.
Can anyone tell me how many gears it has, is it 2x3x2=12 or (2+3)x2=10? ;)
It seems a bit over-engineered to me for the amount of gears, but thought it would be interesting for you Raleigh fans out there 👍

Really interesting pic, thanks for posting this up.
Looks like the old Sturmey Archer type 5-speed hub, attached to a double chainset with front derailleur (which makes for 10 gears!).
I’ve seen the combo hub-with-rear-derailleur before, but never with front derailleur. A curiosity!

Thank you for the reply Craigmont, I had heard about the two lever SA 5-speed hub but wasn't sure this was it, the lever for the front derailleur also had Sturmey on it!
As I recall the bike was called a Raleigh Hybrid 😊
