Yeah I'll take a picture later.
Clara's was a survivor, all orgininal parts plus period, D-battery plastic lights fitted when it was sold by On Your Bike on Tooley Street. Full service, restoration of some yellow cable outers and some new tan-wall tires and it was good to go.
It came with a Sugino triple (same profile as the 75s), sealed wide flange hubs, and the bars/seat all Muddy Fox branded.
It's a tank, I posit it will be heavier than the Raleigh because of the fork. MTB technology was awful in the mid-80s. Don't forget a granny ring for the mildest of hills. The rust will be fine, there's a lot of metal there, if anything clean it up and it'll be a bit lighter.
