I have an old Raleigh too! Probably the same year; my Dad bought it for me. It was my first "big girl" bike; a Raleigh Sports (which was what he called a "touring" bike...sort of like a cross between a road bike and a cruiser).

It has three speeds & still shifts like a dream (the old Sturmey Archer gears that you coast between...so smooth). It's in storage now but I love that old girl.

They just don't make bikes like that anymore.
