If you want a similar classic look the black Bennotto tape is for sale by a couple of seller right now

I have to agree, you're probably somewhere close in retail value.
The Grand Touring is one step below the Grand Jubilee, and not quite as refined, but still a well built bike with lightweight alloy tubing and forged lugs.
Personally I think this is one of those bikes that is undervalued on the used market, and should be worth around $500, but probably would be difficult to sell for more than $200 to $300.
