£12 Carlton Corsa Strada - worth it?

As above... lose the comedy puffy bar tape, spit, polish, ride! Not been on RB long, but I'm starting to love those old Carlton colours! Insane bargain at £12.

Yes, that's the one, was checking it out a couple of days ago on the thread you had.

Similar to mine, but the frame obviously in much, much better condition. Do you know anything about the 'Corsa Strada' brand Spokesmann? Someone said it pre-dated the later Corsa's. Where did it fit in the Carlton line-up/history?
 
The Corsa Strada was a 60s machine, as far as Im aware by 1969 it had become just the Corsa.
