just a few questions i would ask...

does the undercoat look original as it could have been coated to
hide a rusty frame.

the mileage stated is low, but it does seem to have a few
modifications for a car thats only 928 miles.
i would have though it would be immaculate and factory standard if
stored correctly.

the frame tow hooks, again for low miles i assume liitle use of the
car and no need to tow onto a trailer etc .(assuming it drove ok)

you can still get a complete set of seat covers (NOS in the UK) ask
for these to be included, along with a wheel pad (still available)

does the body generally, and fascias look 'low miles'?

hope this is of help.

it may all be ok, but i would be very carefull for this sort of
money.
