Rust is the great issue IMHO.
Without doing the work yourself it will cost a fortune to rectify through a garage with some parts being unobtainable.
If the seats/door cards are in good condition and tidy, the inner wings, rear X member, sills, rear arches, rear floor and all body mounts are good then I think that will help vastly with value.
Mileage, once you get to this age, doesn't mean so much to me. I'd rather have a high-mileage well cared for car than one with half the miles that's going rotten and hasn't been cared for.
These seem to be in high demand and a fair few have changed hands for around the £5000 mark recently, from what I could gleam from the adverts these looked to be in OK but nowhere near perfect condition.
To put that into perspective a CSK that hadn't been on the road for 2 years and was without a working engine went on ebay for £3400!
Classicmobilia advertises their CSK's for around the £9000 mark, two would appear to have sold recently but I don't know how much for.
hope this helps.
