The early 60's roadsters are great cars. Nothing really special to look for. I had one many years ago - it would fly and the lower door height was nice. These will have disc brakes and a bit more power than the 100-6's. All in all, a really fun car.

The main issues are :- is the chassis sound and straight, look at the doors and see how they close with the rest of the body see if the lines look good. The floor may be rotten, check the inner body parts, the outer parts are easily seen. Is the engine complete, does it turn? Try and determine what bits are missing. All this is to determine how much work is required to restore the car. Most/ all parts are available new except the engine, even then, an aluminium variant can be obtained new from Australia at a price, and second hand reconditioned ones are available.
As a four seater, it is good for three adults - one across the rear two seats but no way is it a comfortable 4. Ok for small children though.
