Gazing at the pics ....

No engine pics and not the most detailed interior pics but this is what I see:
The obvious non-original bonnet pins and outside rearview mirrors.
The possibly correct inside rear view mirror stalk but the wrong mirror mounted to it.
Non-original steering wheel; in-correct toggle switches on dash; correct radio blanking plate.
Dash top recovered with less than original results. Pic is inadequate to decide if dash controls are correct; I suspect they are not.
Correct door hardware; correct ash tray; non-period carpeting.
Tonneau hardware is non-original and questionable; how does the cover shed water if the fastening snaps are inside the windows?
Hood appears faded but serviceable – this can possibly be refreshed with modern treatments.

Metallic blue paint is non-original but if you like it – you’re the buyer/future owner.
White or cream interior is non-standard but was available as a factory option; the pattern of upholstering is correct.
Shifter boot would not have been white/cream.

Regarding inspection of the car: closely inspect each sill completely; lift all matting and inspect the floors; check boot floor beneath battery.
