No pitting... and they would have to swap out those horrible, baggy door cards. Nice car though. Ride height is a bit high.

X2 nice car. 
It does appear to be Sandglow and FWIW someone will pay that price.
The interior lets it down but easily & inexpensively corrected. The ride height needs addressing as well. I would think the interior & ride height to be part of a negotiating package if one is seriously interested.
FWIW in comparison the Frontline Abingdon Edition is starting priced at 86K £ so give some thought of the market this car is offered to.

Life's most persistent and urgent question is, "What are you doing for others?"

At 70 grand those things should have been easily & inexpensively corrected before offering it up. I like the wheels.

I totally agree Adrian, perhaps the fellow thought and misunderstood patina. 
Those are V8 OE wheels later used on LE edition?
Anyway 10K $ should take care of the 'worn' interior and is now a deal at 59K $ or 78K $ Canadian
FWIW I like this car
