1966 CZ 125 Roadster - What's it worth? (Not VMX obviously)

As per the subject line... Anyone know much about these bikes? The one I saw looks remarkably complete, but I don't know if it's a runner. The valanced front mudguard was certainly eye-catching!

That was the bike I learned to ride on around 1972 and I have not seen another one since my Dad sold ours in about 1974.
I remember a fair bit about it. They are solid and well made but being a conservative 125 two stroke, are quite slow. I might have a photo of ours somewhere. It went OK doubling on the road but wouldn't go much faster than about 80km/h. The part I liked was that (in my mind) it was mechanically sophisticated compared with British bikes of the same era.
