"unrestored"? Damn. What you guys consider "unrestored" would be labeled "mint condition" in Dublin. That's a sweet bike.
Here you'd expect €250-350, but it's very market-dependent. You have to find the right buyer who will appreciate what they're getting.
[edit:] aha, I see you're using "unrestored" as in "unmolested" or "new old stock".

Stunning. I have absolutely no interest in owning a '70's-era bike like that, let alone a mixte, but damn.
Worth several hundred or more to the right collector, maybe.
Don't ride it!

WOW!
1971
three hundreds, at least
model UE18
here is a photo of a 1970 Canadian market example
---
a treat for me to see the banner/pennant affixed to the brake cable casing
purchased a new UO8 in 1966 which came with one of these

I don't know what it is truly worth or what it would go for. But around here, I wouldn't be surprised to see it offered on FB Marketplace for $500, (CL is a ghost town for bikes in my area). The chain guard, pump, lights and pendant are wonderful. If it was in my possession, I would definitely seek out a real collector rather than offer it up on facebook or some other avenue.

Wow.
I wonder how bikes can stay like this for 50 years. Boggles the mind. Thank you for sharing.

Here in Southern Ontario, where the biking season can be short, bikes do get put in the basement or hung up and forgotten about, sometimes for decades.
But yes: it boggles the mind to think that some people buy bikes like this and then just forget about them... until they get a home-made flyer in their mailbox from someone looking for old bikes.

Newbie
There was a white one in what looked like pristine condition all summer on FB here for $90 with no takers.
I watched the ad for months because I had the same bike here that belonged to a relative.
I finally gave in and offered the guy $20, we settled on $40. He told me it was listed for two years on FB, LegGo, and CL with no takers.
He even gave me two brand new old stock 27" tires and a brand new rear derailleur that he had bought for it as a spare because he had heard they didn't last.
The Huret Multito on the front hub still had its rubber belt and read 953 miles on it. He said he had it put on at the dealer when he bought it.
I broke it down and used the parts to build up a 23" men's frame I had here. I figured for $40, I couldn't come close to buying all the parts I needed for that amount.
I was going to build the frame up as a three speed but haven't had the time.
The remaining parts may end up on eBay.
