The most important factor is not mentioned. What state is the chassis and bulkhead in? If they are crap it is worth a fraction of that.

Other questions - suspension - changed or still on original bushes/ shocks etc? They'll be shagged at that age.

Doors rot - check the bottoms. The respray may be hiding a lot of corrosion, but they should have been sorted before spraying. It depends if it was sprayed to sell it or because the owner wanted a nice job doing.

If all is good then it looks OK, but not a bargain. Lots of lesser machines about at halfish that figure.
