My 320/6 of late has some wired idling behaviour. On a warm engine, the idling runs between 900 to 1100/1200 rpm.

Anyone has some reasonable suggestions for this behaviour and solutions?

vacuum leaks are usually the first thing to check. Idle problems in a K-Jet car usually stem from these kinds of leaks. Don't forget to check the oil filler cap and anything associated with Crank Case Ventilation.

my car had the same issue once after an oil change. I managed to get the car to work okay. But when i left and i was on my way home its stalled at a major intersection I poped the hood and ficked on the hazard lights (thank god i had just brought a hazard light switch the day before) I had traffic backed up for ages and could not get a decent enough break to get her off the road. 2 hours later i managed to get it up on the side of the road (after peak hour was over) turned out i left the dipstick loose and it was loosing compression...

Uummm! 320/6 .... runs on Solex 4A1 Carb....

However, same principles may apply. Check vacuum hoses to carby and try tightening the carb bolts a little.
