I have been on the phone to the owner a couple of times over the past week, seems like a very nice and honest guy, yes the gearstick and handbrake boots have been replaced because when he got the car there was a big rip/cut in the gearstick boot so he replaced both the boots so they match up, the funny thing is he gave me some bad news lol, his farther was driving the car and hit a dog which cracked the bumper, but its going in to a reputable panel shop on monday to get fixed (he said he hates bog so hes getting it fixed the right way, which is good) i will be getting the car check out in sometime in the next few weeks and may even get a speedo/odometer check done on it for peice of mind
The car "is" a 40th aniversary, i saw a few exterior pics of it on the website it was advertised on, has the 40th aniversary badging on the rear quater panels, it also has the plastic CAS cover (same as the r34 CAS) which only came on the 1998 40th aniversary r33's so i have read.But overall the car seems in pretty good nick i think
