Evaluating Centurion Le Mans 12 Mixte

Can't see any clues or read component names in the photos on this Craigslist ad for a Centurion Mixte Le Mans 12. Hard to tell but looks like surface rust and maybe dried out tires. I have no need for another mixte but I feel a need to buy for a good deal! See any clues that could help me spec?

Thanks

Don’t you love it when every pic is of the non-drive side?

Tho thing I noticed is the shifters mounted on top of the down tube. That might help you date it. The hubs have quick release skewers. The crank is a triple, so the bike is actually an 18 speed.

I think it is a decent deal in your area.
