Can anyone date my vintage ladies marlboro?

Hi to all, I am new to this forum.
have just bought this on ebay:

Can't wait to pick it up and give it a good clean. Does any one else own one and know the exact age or era? looks 1980 to me as a guess?

that looks a bargain, I'd say late 70s-80s but V nice

Many thanks for the reply, it looks like a bargain but we will see when I pick it up!

Looks good to me.
I'd guess late seventies.

Bargain and very nice too.I would guess late 70's early 80s.

I think these Ever Ready rear lamps changed to the square type in 1978 or maybe 1979 so I'll go for late 70s. You'll probably see date codes on the brake calipers and maybe some other bits when you get it.

Thanks for those useful replies. The bike arrived looking pretty shabby but i was pleased with it as the paint was so good. After a couple of days work I sold it on looking near mint and working perfectly. Sadly I sold it before I thought to look at the back of the callipers for a date stamp but the next one I got was stamped 77 on the back.

I have a unexplained love of girls bikes even if I do look a tit riding them.

Well, I have known many a bike but I don't think this one fancies a drink...sorry couldn't help making the obvious joke.
