Good spotting 8-)
Could you ask your friend, if I/we could get some better pictures ?
it has a early Margrave dash, but the pictures on the Fleabay advert is very poor.
I would also love to see some detail pictures, of the sunroof ?

I have a few spares for wood and picketts, I have the rolls royce electric window regs (and converted doors) and a spare set of smoked glass. (Quarterlights, and door glass no frames for the fronts just the glass and rear windows for a mk3 again smoked) but from what its just cost to have new glass cut it probably worth keeping it! Ouch!!

I also have an early chrome handled wabesto roof which has good channels and it usable.. I have the GT dash as well and most of the other gubbins,. Seats etc.

If I can be of any help just pm me.
