That's actually alright, it looks like a bike that could have been made in the early 70s

I like it, but would rather have front discs. I am never convinced by drum brakes.

Looks spot on to me, twin leading shoe drum brakes would be good enough for me but I would have to put some sort of filter on the inlets if it were mine.
An old friend of mine bought a s/h laverda Montjuic, had open inlets, didn't even get it home before a stone fecked the engine 😕

I like that... all the way back to the straight-bottomed seat unit... it's yet another design where the curves suddenly hit an angular brick wall which butts up awkwardly to the tank. It just needs to continue the curve of the tank's underside.
