Question Canadian Auster 6

I came across the following advertisement:

"1948 Beagle Auster A61 ex RCAF Auster VI. Airframe: 1430 hrs TT, rebuilt 1987. Engine: Gypsy Major Mk. 10, 690 hrs TT (117 hrs STOH). Propeller: Faiey Reed (metal), 427 hrs. Skis: Northwest Industries (wood), tail ski metal".

Any feedback appreciated. Specific questions: How difficult is it to get parts for airframe and engine? Is the Mk. 10 a decent engine?

Thanks!
