Looks like it needs some work though.

Nice! But a bit bloody scruffy

I'm trying to remember the last time a Mk1 S model came up for sale in Germany. There was an Austrian one, a year or two back, but that was a 343. And that extremely dead R-Sport sometime last year.
With a (lot) of work, it could be made to look like JDT's car:

Have to say if someone wanted to restore a 300, it'd definitely be worth saving something like this! Love the bonnet stripe on JDT's car!
On a whole new level of 300-series geekery... I never knew you could get different coloured floor trays? They look brown in the interior pic...

Steve, I love your attention to detail
Just checked up in the brochures, the "moulded style" of floor trays were available from 1980 on, in black, grey, blue and ... brown. Brown was dropped within a few years, and from the mid 80's you were offered "any colour you like, as long as its grey".
Cheers
Tom
