When buying a vehicle of this age, key points are above all rust on the frame, sills and load floor, the condition of the brake system, steering, suspension and exhaust, the history of engine and clutch work, the condition of the fuel system, and the availability of body and wear parts through independent classic and commercial vehicle parts dealers, and the condition of the wiring, lighting and exhaust system. Rust most often appears at the sills and floor.
