A good friend of mine with a small stable of well-maintained and fettled classic bikes is downsizing his collection due to age.
Amongst them is a 1980 V50, which I have first refusal on, once he can finally get around to saying farewell to it!
Is there anything that I should be particularly aware of? I know that it’s 45 years old, but just thinking of “red flags".
Thanks as always.

I’ve recently adopted a 1980 V50 which had not been as well.looked.after as your potential seems to have been
I have refurbished the brakes put the airbox/airfilter back together correctly but I discovered an issue with the ignition pickups, I am now having to rewire them as the existing wiring was banjacked, new ones are like hens teeth I’ve been quoted up to £300 each
Otherwise when it’s running I’m going to enjoy it
Best of luck
