I have owned 8 of these beasts so I think I can speak from experience about things that would matter to me.
The 85 "Phase 2" was arguably one of the best ever made with the 5 speed manual and short shift. It had very few electronics to go wrong, coil suspension and despite being Lucas, even the electrical bits worked - well most of the time. The color was described as "Sahara Dust" more correctly thought of as "Camel **** Brown" If I still had it, I'd get it repainted in a better color, upgrade the 3.5 engine for more power, replace the seats with P38 ones, upgrade the lights with LEDs and a light bar and put BFG KO2's for better handling.
The other one I'd be tempted to keep/buy would be my current 91 Hi-Line that has just had the engine changed for a 4.0 with top hat pistons, cross bolted mains and Hi-comp pistons. It now has P38 leather seats, Myrtle wood trims, BFG KO2 tyres, an external wheel carrier and decent lights. The paint is a bit average in places due to its life in the bush, but nothing that can't be fixed. This one is like yours - not pristine but highly practical, just the way I like it.
In summary, if I wanted to buy another Rangie, my list of 5 issues would be:
85 through to 92 with absolutely NO rust,straight body panels and a good color,.
Proven professional maintenance (from a specialist shop - not a dealer)
Upgraded engine and engine management system - a 4.0 or 4.6 though a worked 3.5 would be an option
Coil springs and good tyres
Clean, well maintained interior with effective air conditioning
