Have a look on www.retrobikes.co.uk this is a forum/market for old stuff, someone on there may even make you an offer, but I don't think it will be a lot.

Check www.retrobike.co.uk, lots of old stuff on there. Someone may be able to help. It's a fairly standard bike, just using the "Milk Race" titling to push sales.

Its a cheap bike fullstop, dont get excited.
Its like, Lets make a bike as cheap as chips and call it something impressive like, 'Tour de france' model or 'world champion winners bike' . It means nothing.
Sorry to be blunt but it has no value as a 'special edition' and a bike today from say. halfords for £299 would be better.

As stated it's nothing special, no offence, however, it's worth what someone will pay for it, obviously. What I mean is there is a huge market for retro frames at the moment, so if you can face the fact that whoever buys it will probably strip it and convert it to a fixed gear, then you should have no problem getting in the region of £80ish via the likes of eBay.
What you really need is a guy who had the same bike in his youth, and who would love to buy one again to re-live the experience. Rose tinted eyewear is a sure fire way to squeeze a few extra ££'s out of something like this.
Good luck with it what ever you decide.
