There's a lot of sheds out there though, beware of gearbox syncros, rust (battery area, boot, underside) lash adjuster noise (although cheap and easy to change) radiator end tanks leaking, head gasket pressurising system, AYC operation (check fuse is there and no noises when flicking steering left and right) warped brake discs.

These models are obviously getting on a bit now and there's a lot to make sure is right.
