If the owner plans to restore the car to its original specification, then the mechanical items in the back could cause a problem. SCA's and Mk7 boxes are very rare.
Some BT16s were sold as high spec F3 cars, and that would be a much more affordable proposition, and almost as fast. However, I'm not sure how the FIA would view such a car if it could not be proved that it ran as an F3 in period.
I would rather see the car being raced, even if it was not in totally 100% original form.
