You are thinking of when the previous owner was selling it many years ago and before a ton of work was done to it.

You said the magic words Mr. Barnes, a ton of work has been done, so NOT original. Maybe it looks nice, but I still disagree on 31K. Me, being a type 3 owner would love for type 3's to appreciate.

I don't know... I would still call it "original" as long as it was clear the interior has been redone. At least it's didn't get redone in leather like my old '63 Notch. 
Everything else in the ad sounds like normal work to me.
Look how clean that rear end is:
No transmission ground strap though?

Let's agree that it is indeed a very nice car, but it is no immaculate example of an unrestored type 3.

That is quite high.
Side markers don't attach with machine screws and nuts like that, they attach with sheet-metal type screws.
I am concerned they may have enlarged the normal mounting holes as those screws look larger in diameter than the stock mounting screws to my eye.

I saw this ad earlier and just shook my head...this ad is the very definition of 'wishful thinking'. 
NOS side markers are usually ~$225 shipped on the high side. |

But those have been "Customized" according to Everett.
That alone makes them worth just that much more....

No disrespect to my type 3 brothers on the other side of the pond, but I thought Only in Amsterdam, what are they smoking in the UK?

Nice, but not a 1963 and I can see the incorrect seat covers from here.

It's a '64 or maybe even a '65. My guess is that it's probably a '64 built after 1. August 1963, which is the beginning date of the '64 model year.
