someone is questioning wheather this is an original g40 - can anyone shed some light on that please?

It says its a 1991 g40 on the v5 log book - but the potential buyer is worried because it doesn't have the waistline trim or full wheel arch covers

please see photo's:

the trim can be removed just like they can be added either way doesn't prove its a genuine G40

He stuck it on eBay and sold it via there I think. Arranged to go down a few times then he ended up working weekends so never worked out. Not sure who bought it. I assume it's gone anyway, haven't heard a peep since he stuck it on ebay and think it ended early.
