Question Maybe buying ED Monty Ghia... Need Help (again)

I am now looking at an ED Monty Ghia.

I know, I know... I need to stop changing my mind...

I think I pretty much have the basics sussed, but is their any particular things to look out for on the EBs?

Such as... Common rust spots, common mechanical problems, etc.

Also, what should the seat trim be? I am guessing velour...

Will have ABS for a start, so a good hard jump on the brakes is something to test.

Trim will be either full or half leather being an EBII
