Vintage bike info required LH Special Gloucester

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and thought this could be a place to start.
I've acquired two bikes , a Coventry Eagle which was bought new in 1968, has the bigger 3D type badge , campagnolo mech and shifter but only 5 speed, I know these aren't worth much but what type of tubing will it be and is this era a better model before they went to falcon, thinking of just cleaning it rather than restoring it as it's quite a good survivor.
The other bike I got is a LH special Gloucester , can't find any info online or anything ?
It Is quite light and the chain stays and seat stays are very slender and the butting is quite ornate .
Would love some info on this bike , roughly 1965?
Condition needs work but some of the original logo can be seen , is it better to leave it as a survivor ?
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers
