The most important thing is history. Has it been serviced regulary using decent oils etc.
Rear arches, known to rust and quite a big job to fix so have a really good look and poke.
Make sure the engine is sweet, no unusual knocks and bangs.
Gearbox, another known weak point on classics. Go up and down the gearbox and listen for any crunching.
Make sure the power delivery is smooth and doesn't miss or hesitate.

To be honest, just use your common sense. Anybody with half a brain can tell if a car has been cared for and if it's not up to scratch walk away. There are literally hundreds out there for sale so it's a buyers market.
