Old rod brake Raleigh

I saw an old Raleigh for sale yesterday. It has 26" wheels, single gear, rod brakes and full chaincase. Paint is original (orange! I thought all Raleighs were black or green...) with some patina and worn out in some places, decals and headbadge still present. Non-original tires and pedals, leather seat top dry and broken (but metal parts ok). Mechanically OK. Asking price is $120. I was looking for a 28", but this seems to be in good condition. What do you think?
