This is not the aluminium fretboard model, it is actually in fantastic condition as i beleive the store i bought it from completed a £150 service and tune up on it. Any ideas on value or more on the age?

The fact that yours has a re-frettable rosewood 'board rather than the Ali fingerboard of the earlier versions makes it a later model. Probably '80/'81 just before the Matrix morphed into the Balladeer Special and then the Ultra. In the UK it might fetch £150-ish
