ID MID 60'S RALEIGH KIDS BIKE?

[retrowagen1234]

Right im usually good with raleighs... but this one has me stumped... its one i have seen before in pics but cant place it...

the top tube removes and wasnt fitted when i bought it an hour ago... the front tyre pumped up but the rear is so foobared its gone solid and the tube cant push the tyre out!!

its got a rod front brake , and STURMEY ARCHER pedal back rear. (coaster) the rear hub is dated 65 9 (sept 65)

anyone got any ideas? as yet its not for sale... its most likely going to find a cozy home in the loft with my mk2 chopper, 2 mini burners, bomber, and first bmx.. (all of which slowly being restored and i do use them )
