Generally speaking providing it is fairly clear of "tin worm" the major rust problem is the windscreen surround. This is very expensive to repair so make sure that it is OK before you purchase. If ok the price is reasonable, if a little on the high side. Best of luck with it and I am green with jealousy as I would like to rescue one of these myself, engine and gearbox would be immaterial as I have a turbodiesel lump and box with intercooler which would certainly endow it with mph and mpg. If anybody has one they want to give away and they are fairly near to me in South Wales.......plug.
All the best, Peter.
