Are you bargaining with him Jason or just making a comment on price? I think it's a beaut car and from what I have seen it's genuine.
So it has GTS guards, if I wanted back to original then I could sell them for a tidy sum and replace them with standard guards, as for original running gear - good luck in finding a car in such condition with all original matching engine and gearbox.

Asking price is for sellers and his prerogative. Good luck sandasharpe.
