I'm looking for a winter hack to convert to ss and commute down canal tow paths, with maybe the odd blast round the woods.
Fella at work has one in his shed he wants £30 for.
Is it worth bothering with?
Probably very heavy but for a commuter £30 is about right I would say:

According to google
well somebody gets excited about them -

personally I wouldnt bother but I guess it depends what you want
Have mine from when I was 14 in the parents shed still, If I thought I could get £30 for it it would be up for sale tomorrow!
In my teens I had the Raleigh Marauder (the model down) my friend had the Massif. There's a small part of me that's [i]still[/i] jealous of him having indexed gears and mine only being friction.

I think the massif was £180ish in 1990ish, whether that translates to £30 now or not, I guess is up to you.
Stick an ad on yahoo freecycle & see what turns up...
If you think it is worth £30 then buy it. That is a fairly tame Saturday night drinking session cash wise.
I nearly got a Mirage (up from the Massif by 1 or 2 models) which would have come with 300lx STIs (which were the new thing in shifting), Raleigh couldnt supply the model so I ended up with a Giant Coldrock with 400lx instead.
I've still got a Mirage somewhere, still ride it occasionally.
