Advice on buying low mileage 1996 850R Wagon 850

Hi there

I've been lucky enough to find a low mileage (10,000) 1996 850R automatic wagon here in the UK that has had the same owner from new and apart from little tread left on the front tyres (and a few scuffs on the wheels) the guy has kept it immaculately. It's not cheap, but only about a third of what the guy paid for it new 6 years ago. The one thing he hasn't done is the first service.
I'd appreciate any information on extra bits I should have done with the first service such as transmission and coolant fluid flush and change, cam belt etc as now I've found one I want to keep it good! OR is this going over the top?

Thanks for your help
Chrisj
