Advice on a Peugeot Bike Required

[Fish44]

As a middle aged man i'm looking to get into biking to lose a few pounds like half the nation is at the moment.
I've been offered a 1998 Peugeot Team Festina Replica Richard Virenque bike for £250. It has all its original parts, it is in mint condition and the owner says its only done about 50 miles from new!!

I suppose my question is, Is it worth it or would the money be better used to go towards a brand new bike? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Re:

Sounds like a road bike to me? Maybe better asking your question in the retro road section of the site.

although, for £250 you could get a half decent modern road bike second hand, or put the money towards a new road bike in the £5-600 price range.
