I'm not familiar with lighting of that age, but it looks like a vintage 'starter kit', if you could get it for under £50 it'd still be a gamble as a start in studio lighting, ultimately you'd replace it with something better.
There's no clue as to the power, there's no power adjustment, the reflector appears fixed, so you'd end up with a right bodge trying to replace modifiers, which after all, is the whole point of studio flash.

X = an unknown quantity
Spurt = a drip under pressure
Even top quality vintage equipment is often a poor buy, simply because things have moved on tremendously during the last 30 years.
But this equipment was far from top quality when new, so my advice is to forget it.

Gotta keep the sun off that head, look how white it is I bet it'd flare up as red as a lobster outside.

I didn't comment, it was obvious the seller didn't have a clue what he was selling. But that's a common occurrence on ebay, not just from private sellers either, many of the 'box shifters' don't have a clue either.
