it was also being sold with candy red wheels which matched the paintwork, but they just looked tacky.

Sorry for appearing dim, but..... are you buying four different coloured wheels as per the photograph?

I actually like it too, i think the interior is quite smart, it's just the ruined bonnet i can't get over

Could be a bargain if you're not bothered about genuine S2 wheels, if you are a set is going to cost the best part of 2k. I notice that the drivers door window isn't making contact with the hood seals, so it has possibly been shipping a lot of water. The seller has indicated work done to deflect chassis rot. Can't tell whether the hood and seals need replacing - hood is patched - but if they do it's another 1-2k. The car is still tempting, but could prove expensive if you want everything right.

Black always does look stunning and those seats are great too. I'd definitely go back to the standard wheels though.

Haven't seen that one before, but then with it having spent so much of it's life abroad, having so few miles and only 1 owner that's no major surprise. I was expecting the worst when you said it was stripy, but it actually looks OK - not many can pull those off.
