It doesn't smoke on start up or at idle. Only when giving it some gas.
Update:
Ran it up to temp again yesterday and it is much quieter.

It's the one that goes from the bottom of the turbo to the...

Its just the bodywork that really lets it down but I'll just tidy /polish that up and change the rotten drivers door for now.
The previous owner fitted a stainless exhaust and air...
Well spotted!
It is indeed Tan interior and I don't mind it at all.
Wouldn't be my first choice but apparently it's a rare colour so I will try to keep it.
(I may recolour some parts black...
Wow £200?
It looks in similar condition to mine and mine was a lot more than 200! :beat_brick:
