Lightweight old school two strokes are in mucho demand so priced well within market forces and a sought after model. Not something I’d personally be interested in as rather tatty cosmetically, so would need some assurance all ok mechanically. A good cold compression test figure would be the first thing I’d be looking at on an old ‘smoker’….if all good then anything else probably economically fixable assuming diy competent.
