Steve,
pretty sure its an SC which will be a 3.0 either 188bhp or 204 bhp depending on the year good to hear the original wheels are with it as you would probably be looking at 1000-1500 for a set of Fuchs, 3.0 engine is a cracker the 915 gearbox takes a bit of getting used to and will cost 1500-2000 to rebuild if synchros are worn.
Rust is your big enemy/money pit with these cars but as you say it "looks" pretty decent wings,windscreen scuttle,door shuts and kidney bowls are the key area`s to check.
price wise the market is just nuts with road going Sc anything between 20-40k and basket cases on Ebay hit 10k in a heartbeat and I think 10-15k is where your at with this car if the body is decent buy the time you have went through the brakes/suspension/fuel/oil pipes/interior etc you will be another 10k down the line.
good luck it does look pretty decent

i bought a similar 1983 sc a few years back it had been stood app 10 years also but within a week i had it through the mot and back on the road there great cars
