This was posted on our local MOTA website. Located in a suburb of Detroit. Seems like a pretty neat little machine. A bit of a unicorn here in the states.

think they were made in Wales, only ever saw one in the flesh.

That's quite a piece of history there, in pretty much unmolested condition, but the 175cc claim seems odd. The motor looks like the normal 118cc unit, and I don't recall Suzuki doing a 175cc version of that motor.

Altas did well in the UK with top line works riders (Mart and Alan Lampkin, John Hemingway) around 1969/70

Would be well worth a punt I'd think, if you were at all interested. For sure you'll never see another one, let alone in this sort of condition.
