how are the usual rust areas?
Heater channels, bottom of door pillars etc also is the chassis sound.

Paint and appearance can be sorted relatively cheaply if its a good solid base

I had a 71 1200 with 1600 lump that was sold as a project due to lack of space it was in bits with a rolling chassis separate shell etc needed prep paint and rebuild but all welding was done. I tried to sell it for a bit but ended up swapping it for a £900 car.

You may be able to ask a bit more if its potentially usable near enough as it is.

I paid £1300 for my 1200 '71 with 12 month MOT about 18 months ago.

The floorpan is solid and all painted up as for the other rust there is very little anywere other than a bit of surface here and there but I've stopped that with rust stopper and clear coat. oh and forgot to say it has a adjustable shortened front beam
