I'd carefully check all fluids first. I very much doubt that the backpackers would be concerned with service intervals. Having said that, they're pretty robust old bangers. Check for signs of oil in the coolant (head / head gasket), and see what works in the electrics line. At that price, you can fix a few things and still be in front.
Good luck with it.
