Right got a little bit more info from my illiterate work coleague ::)

It's a Mongoose Expert and it has Chattsworth written on it as well.?? I'm assuming it's the area it was bought from and may be a shop sticker.

chatsworth is not the area it was bought in, its the area it was made in.

chances are the serial number will start with M3 .....
if you think its a 1983 model

same frame as the cali'
so can be all tubes chromoly or just trimoly (front three tubes)

if its complete and good nick might go £125 tops
if its more plop than mr ploppy then £40 / £50 ?
