Jeremy is correct... and personally I think all the comments are helpful. 
The reason it was brought to our attention in the first place was because 
someone just might be interested in buying it and that person might be new 
to the list, Series Ones in general and 107 SW in particular. It's useful to 
have all the good and bad points aired.

In any restoration, the fact that some bits like door bottoms and rear 
lights etc are not correct is not too important, they can be replaced if you 
feel like it, but missing parts like a complete de-luxe trim would be 
expensive to have made and for the money he is asking, should be there if it 
was indeed "meticulously re-built". As with any vehicle up for sale, where 
does the truth begin and the misleading statements end...buyer beware, but 
he does invite viewing.

I agree, this guy had rather set himself up for comments with obvious 
mistakes like "1948" and "you will not find a better example of this rare 
marque"...it's up on auction for world wide scrutiny after all, so there is 
nothing wrong with impersonal commenting exactly as we see fit.

...But have you noticed he has now ammended the description somewhat...and 
it wasn't me that told him!
