Looks to be a pretty original car. Interestingly, it has the radiator header tank positioned alongside the cylinder head. The first few 541 cars had this feature and had a radiator more narrow than the later cars. Any of these cars that were updated by the factory had the tanks removed and the wider radiator fitted at the same time.

Seems underpriced or is that deliberate to get interest?

I got the impression that it would need a fair bit of recommissioning before use.
