The LTD with the J style engine is probably the least popular and therefore lowest priced of all of the big Zeds.
Does it run ? Does it run well ?
It's got surface rust - will this clean off to look like new ?
the RH/throttle side handlebar looks like it may be slightly bent (or is it just the picture) ? Is there more damage on the side of the bike we can't see ? What is the overall condition - how much money needs to be spent ?
The market is a bit down at the moment with some decent examples of the more sought after earlier bikes on offer for fair prices.
I'd say if it runs and theres no crash damage, start at around £1500. If it was in top condition /A1 / no issues I'd say no more than £3500 at the moment.
It's not a bike easily converted to a J style either. Only buy it if you want a LTD.
Thats my personal view and comes with no guarantees - others may have different ideas.
Best of luck / buyer beware !!

As Dave said not the most looked after/desired model but the starting blocks on something cool. Apparently this started life as the same model.
edit. sorry its an 82 k2 but not far off the 80.
