Buying a 35 mm SLR?

Hello :wave:
I've been looking into buying a film SLR camera as inexpensively as possible. It'd have to be suitable for a beginner, and ideally would cost under 5000 rupees (approximately 70 pounds). So far I think the best bets would be either a Penax Spotmatic or a Pentax K 1000--can anyone help me choose between the two, or suggest another model?
It would be great if the lenses it uses would be mountable on digital SLRs of the same brand as well, so if I gather the funds to buy a digital one, I can use the same lenses.

I have a Canon EOS 3000N.
It hasn't let me down.
I think it's like, £60 now or thereabouts.
Not generally. For example Canon EF lenses fit the newer digital models as well as fitting on older film models too.
So I guess the key is just to do your research before buying.
I think I'm a little late to this party, though!
