Body shell seems well protected. The bits bolted on underneath will be pretty rusty though. I gave everything underneath a spraying with WaxOyl in the summer. Front to rear brake pipes are guaranteed to corrode. Standard MOT failure point.

You still get early 75s which look brand new so there is nothing to worry about unless it has a dodgy repair ie door skin replaced etc

I've only ever seen one rusty example & it belongs to a club member though I wont embarrass him cos he's a nice fella but it looks to be down to a previous poor body repair as opposed to being a problem area on these cars

I've never seen rust on a 75 that I remember of any age other than areas that have been damaged.

I've only ever seen one with rust that we had in at work. It had started to bubble up under the chrome trim on the passenger rear quater
