The crankset is a cottered potential headache possibly but decent clearance for bigger tires.
Looks to be a Brooks saddle, and you could modernize in pieces if you wanted. Personally I dislike Simplex plastiderailleurs, but others like them. Something like a SunTour VxGT for the rear, Vx for the front and some down tube or barcon shifters would be fun and allow you to get a wider range for hills and such.
It is a Brooks, which makes it worth the asking price just for the saddle. LOL I've seen these with bar end shifters as well. I would modernize what needs to be fixed,and add some full fenders (those "bobbed" ones appear in period sales photos BTW). Whoe sells the correct fender for a bike like this. It would be 26 x ?? width?
