If you are BC height then a small wheel will block your view but apart from that it's no problem.

And you can get the speedo to 150 apparently (with a long run up and where permitted, obviously) . Be interesting to GPS it.... allegedly.

Yup, rear suspension arms and their spring mounts need a look at, rear wheel bearings need a 20 gigaton press iirc.
They are good, solid (hopefully) reliable machines. Really well put together, utterly overlooked. I wouldn't be scared of any mileage unless it's making upset noises.
Trim, inside and out, needs to be tip top but I'd expect a knackered dash top, apparently there's a good repair shop in California...
Electrically, the fuse box is rubbish but responds to hitting, the efi is basic and effectively a stand alone system, the digi dash might need bulbs but is pretty good and easy to strip and inspect or repair, bad earths in tail lights are normally down to cruddy bulb holder to printed circuit interface situations, all front end lamps are dismantleableableable, heater fan can give trouble, resistor pack or switch (rotary on normal cars, sliding control on A/C cars) and the heater controls are vacuum controlled on A/C cars.
It's fairly common to have water ingress from under the windscreen into the footwells, right hand side houses engine ecu but easy to strip out and fix, idle ecu above is less accessible but more waterproof.
Electric windows are generally slow, central locking doesn't like to sit around but is really basic. Door handles can stick from lack of use. Senator and Monza could be bought with rear air shocks and either a valve or an electric pump. Senator has electric boot release and this can be retrofitted to Monza.
Ummm.
