Rust is the main problem on all these...that's your main concern. Everything is fairly bullet proof, although make sure the gearbox is good as type 9s can be an issue. The other one is the heater motor, it probably won't work!

good chance of pump, check out the simple things too tho - pump relay common to go too, pinky/purple coloured one, behind lower dash trim in drivers footwell. Metering unit good chance of seizing on injection as well, so make sure thats free, otherwise fuel won't be getting to the injectors

Currently driving a 1972 BMW 1602 as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

Would be nice to have that amount of money to spend on a car. Well the car I'm looking at would be a project as dosen't run and hasnt done for 5 years. How much would you pay for it? has been dry stored.

Just been through all this with one that hadn't been used since 1994. The fuel tank had a substantial amount of thick black liquid in it. We ended up having the tank professionally cleaned and replacing 95% of the fuel system and it still isn't running quite right, poor cold starting and misfiring on sudden throttle openings.
The heater motor doesn't work in this one either.
