That depends largely upon how it's been treated by previous owners and the standard of maintenance during its life.
You've said that the bodywork "is a bit tatty". The rear of the sills are susceptible to severe corrosion but hand crafted repair sections are available from an independent bodyshop at a very reasonable price. Other than that, the rest should normally be cosmetic.
You've asked whether or not you should persevere with it. As you've honestly said that you both don't have mechanical experience, that depends whether you can find someone competent and enthusiastic to do the work for you and, of course, the size of your bank balance!
