As a long time restorer and owner of old brit bikes I'd say that would be fun if you like it for it's classic looks and pedigree but you won't find it either practical or reliable by modern standards. as for teaching your daughter.. it has a finicky kick starter, lousy brakes, and has the shifter and footbrake on the opposite side from anything made after 1974. If you just want something for fun and transportation there are lots of excellent relatively modern bikes (dr350 for example and many others) at very reasonable prices. I don't mean to discourage you but please define exactly what you plan to do with it to avoid disappointment.

regards,
Phil
