I bought one second hand in 1973. (PAU108G) for £35 including 3 months credit. Great memories!

I had one in Singapore, exactly the same colour.
I rode it to Ipoh, and back.
On those roads, and no suspension, my arse took weeks to recover!
The engine mounting bracket broke, and I had to design and make a new one to be welded on.
All the spokes stretched beyond their elastic limit, and became loose. So I had to rebuild the wheels.
My opinion- it was a toy, not suitable for real cycling.
On the plus side, I rode it through a flood up to the seat level. When I emerged, I took the plug out, pedaled t like hell to clear the water out, dried and replaced the plug.
Pedaled like hell again, and off it went!
£1000? Cuckoo!

I could hear the song from easy rider in my head: "Getcha motor running, head out on the highway, lookin' for adventure...It was the bike which was the most derided by us.. But that one seems to go rather well!
