Looks like a goodun.

It didn't take much - the dust and lack of sunlight over the years had preserved it. Just car polish. What size is the one you are looking at?

I don't think you should be put off. Give the welds a visual check - the one I took to pieces was off a frame that had gone rusty at most of the junctions. There is a FB group of loyal owners and they don't talk about failures at all. Many of the failures will have failed by now and many of...
