Every days a school day etc
In the boot, the brackets are not painted body colour. The boot seal is attached to the body, should be on the lid.
The tank is a 7.5 gallon unit, should be 5.5 gallon. This makes the tank strap in the wrong place.
In the cabin there is no vinyl over the heater vents. The heater vent trims are chromed not black.
After market dash to include tacho, means the firewall trim panels are the wrong shape and the dash clamps them in place.
The heater has poor refinishing (not crackle) on the ears and no marking on the front panel. There is no knob on the heater flap control.
The oil pressure and temperature gauges are from a MK2 (rounded bezels).
The gear lever boot is clamping the carpet, it should be over the top of the carpet.
It has the wrong door seals (mk3 and later type).
Washer pump bracket is body colour nor black.
The door seal clamps to the sills are stainless replicas, not aluminum polka dot.
Chrome handbrake should be black.
Indicator stalk is on the wrong side, it should point to the drivers door, not the passengers.
Not too sure about these but I thought the 1964 minis all had the string door pulls. Not sure bout the steering column brackets but I thought they should be black not chrome.
Interior light switches should be push in, not screwed in
Looks like the 'factory recliners' are later seats masquerading as earlier ones looking at the reclining handle. It should be a chrome lever same as the MGB, not a black plastic ended steel one.
Horrid chrome horn visible through the grille.
Behind the grille should be black not body colour
Grille buttons....
Clear indicator lenses at the front, should be orange.
Twin jet chrome washer jets.
6 vent sills, should be 4 vent.
I was going to forgive the very late subframe at the rear however...
Exhaust held on with the wrong clamps.
The rear windows do not fit flush, probably the wrong seals.
The front floor pans are wrongly shaped, look like the cheapest of replacement panels.
The fuel pipe from the rear has a compression joint in it under the floor and is not in the right place.
Horrid cheap LCB with even cheaper clamps.
Battery cable and rear brake line fitted the wrong side of the subframe, should be between the frame and heal board.
In the engine bay.... Fresh air inlet hose looks to be a boat item complete with boat 'fitting' into the firewall.
Rocker cover is chrome should be green, it has a CCV rocker cover and a PCV rear tappet cover and hence a big mess of pipes and horrid filters.
The control box is in the wrong place.
Wrong coil.
Washer bottle is the wrong one and mounted in the wrong place.
Bonnet latch should be body colour.
Dipstick should be green.
It looks like it is 'idling' at 2500 rpm if the tacho is to be believed...
For 60 large I would want the doors to fit and the bonnet to follow the same profile as the wings as well.
I have most likely missed loads but that is what I see just looking at the pictures
All these things individually would not be so troublesome if the price was commensurate, however the seller is asking absolute top money for a shiny daily driver at best.
Matching numbers!! 
Kings Cross Station has recently had a concourse restoration; and the concourse looks very good now 
may contain 8 Ports, Xe's and VTec's, I don't do standard!
