I found this at http://www.browneyedsheep.com, its a sort of corporate takeovers site, who bought who etc

********************************************* In August 1999 Raleigh sold off an 1891 Diamond Frame Safety Bicycle as part of a drive to rationalise its collection. A pre-sale estimate of £1300 was placed on the bicycle. It sold at auction for £105,750. *********************************************

(In December 1999 the final Raleigh bike to be manufactured in Nottingham came off the assembly line).

It's maybe a bit old for the CR list, it's so old I'd have binned it.
