Very near me. Given Facebook Marketplace listing, advise caution, but seems very reasonable for indicated price. No links to me or knowledge of it.

From those photos, it is not possible to see what is missing.

Some of the missing bits may no longer be available.

You would also have to see how good the trim and paintwork were, as they can cost up to around £11k.

Wiring loom?

Does the engine run?

Door cards?

Plus you would have to allow up to 8 months for DVLA to register it !!!

Door cards?

They appear to be attached to the doors, albeit not covered.  The inserts for inside the door pocket are an easy thing to fabricate.

It's a strange one and if genuine could be a good buy, the engine looks clean and already converted to RHD. The concern I'd have is that all this was done 25-30 years ago and the importer didn't bother to register the car at the time. There's something odd about the door windows which made me wonder if it's been used for track days and was never road legal, but even so I would have thought getting an import road registered would be a priority for when you wanted to sell it.

Still cheap for a project though.
