Ill start off with the bad bit to get it out the way.
I recently acquired this bike (few weeks ago) to use as a commuter (60 miles approx a day) unfortunately it run fine for the trip to my fathers and back (about 30 miles) but on its maiden voyage to my workplace it never made it home due to suspected overheating, the bike acted as if it was running out of fuel but the oil and fuel were fine
, engine was very hot, there was a light spray of oil on the engine (and i mean light!) and it was difficult to find a gear... After it cooled down (about ten minutes later) it slipped into gear fine and it started straight away.. its still starting and running ok now but ive noticed there is some oil in the top and bottom of the head so perhaps headgasket?Info:
1979 MZ TS150
2000 miles approx (actually about 1900 or something last i checked) this i have been assured is genuine and the bike seems to look like it could be true, but i have no outright proof
1 years tax (Last on the road in 1985, retaxed this year but i believe the gaskets etc need renewing as well as carb cleaning)
Moted till next year (1 year mot was put on when i got it.)
Keys/docs all present and working, everything is working as it should (kickstart/electrics etc)
Generally good condition, not concours but great condition for a non-showroom bike.
Has a red tank as the blue one had rotted through i believe (stale petrol?) and was scrapped by last owner.

Price wise make me a sensible offer on it, Im looking for a 4 stroke reliable commuter, sports tourer or a shafty, but will consider anything, preferably something newer than 1980s!
Bike is located in Essex.
