Hi Richard. Welcome to the board :D

The bike sounds like an excellent project, barn finds are what most of us dream of! (not many barns here in London).
The Bike/project sounds a bit like Scrote's barn find (similar year etc) if the engine has seized it's hard to guess how much needs speeding on it? I think Scrote paid about £100 but it's really up to you to strike a deal! 3000 miles, if genuine, is very low but I would still not want to pay crazy money. ;)
Let us know if you get it. :D

Enjoy the board. Regards Pjam

The C90ZZ is a similar bike, it was made 1979-1983 I believe, your bike I think is a straight C90.

There's a few parts that are hard to get hold of, but most things can be found at
