Never having owned one myself, I can't really comment further, other than to apply all of the normal used car buying checks. This looks a nice example; they are now quite rare, so it might be worth asking if it is known to the club - they do enjoy quite a strong following.

Many thanks John,
I’ve done a little bit of research this morn and can see it is a simple car, as you say, experience with the RB should be sufficient to spot a major problem.
The car certainly looks okay from the photos - I’m quite looking forward to having a look at it next week and will encourage my friend to contribute to the thread.
