Hi Dex,
There is a "marketplace" thread here (search: Marketplace), as well as on other forum sites.
Of course you can post it on Craigslist, eBay, etc.
There are many collectors of those compact and folding bikes; you should do a search for clubs, etc. (search: compact, folding, trunk, boot, suitcase, and/or Moulton bikes). I only know of the "Bootiebike" site which primarily deals with this style of bike. I don't know specifically if they have a sell/trade option on their site (I assume they do), but I would contact them and see what advice they have for you since it is their specialty; they may just know someone looking for that bike, or may want one for the site's "museum".
I have no idea as to how collectable your specific model is, but I regularly see classic compact bikes being sold in the $50-$150 range. Moultons having been around for over 50 years are certainly some of the more desired compact bikes and may fetch a decent price. Also, they had front and rear suspension which was rare on most bikes (compact or not) of the era.
