I've had one of these for the past 31 years. Acquired it as a pile of bits and rebuilt it twice. Now running as a single-speed commuter, it's like your grandmother's broom. The only original bit is the frame as the forks were bent beyond repair a couple of years ago.
The groupset was nothing special at the time. This was a decent (but not great) mass-production frame made of non-chromoly steel with stamped, not forged drop-outs. All sizing is French, which is a right pain when you're trying to find a replacement for something.
Given all that, it's not worth the original asking price - sorry. A previous poster's estimate is nearer the mark IMO...
