Hi Julian,
I don't have specific knowledge of this car, but I just completed restoration of my DJ 252 last year, so I can point out a few items visible in the photos:
- Sills not correct - there shouldn't be a vertical seam visible at the back of the doors.
- Front seats have been re-covered (In vinyl?)
- Door cards are not to original pattern
- window winder handle on driver's side is not original
- horn button appears to be missing
- various switches on dashboard have been rearranged / added
- hubcaps are not original
- bumper over-riders are not original
- voltage regulator does not appear to be original
- has oil bath air cleaner, so it was likely built for export
The above are mostly secondary items, but might help you in assessing value if you can find evidence of the general soundness of the vehicle.

i have sent you a few photos via email. Let me know if there is any particular area that you would like a photo of. I have many photos which I took during restoration.
