If you know the riding position suits you, that puts a different complexion on the matter - it certainly wouldn't suit me.
If you're keen to have a look, the bike is in Southend - if you pm me I'll be happy to put you in touch with the vendor. He tells me he has now owned this bike for 49 years, so it's not something that comes to the market very often!

Clubman Thanks SO much for tagging me on this post. I am in a slight panic now! Do I or don’t I think about buying it?!? This is a really special one.
Strangely, I went through the whole process of mucking about with mine — and as I finished it had a sudden twang of fear/buyers’ remorse: what if I hate it?!
Turns out it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made re: the cycles I ride. I absolutely adore riding it. It’s an incredibly rewarding thing to ride, if that makes any sense, feels really natural to ride and very ergonomic. My back is really thanking me too (I have worsening and complex set of shoulder and neck issues that is making my more tucked drop-handlebar bikes difficult to use for longer periods, still riding them for under three hours though I hasten to add!).
I would say to any Pedersen-curious folk, if you think you probably want one, try it! Happy to let anyone of this parish ride mine if they want to visit me in SE4 btw.
