Is £1250 a fair price for an unmolested 1993 RD350 with 7000 miles?
Would a 1993 model be brazillian or japanese?
How can you tell from looking at them?

Brazilian one has a much nicer twin headlight fairing.
I had a really good one, but some people report quality issues.
Looks a bit dear to me, as the rumour & conjecture about the quality issues of the Brazilian ones seems to keep the prices down a bit. But in the overall scheme of things it ain't a great deal of cash & if it's what you want treat yourself, you can't take it with you.

You know it does, it's the one where the headlights fit the holes, unlike the poxy F2 rectangular approximation.

The 350R was built fom recycled corned beef tins as well...if it sez 4ce on the frame or engine it's a fray bentos model.
Fact if you call Mitsui to order bits they will say they never made a 350R
