Yes, it is an 80th anniversary car and I have the same interior.
The tan dash definitely does not reflect light at all.
The car looks good from the photos but you will need to have a closer look at the  wheel wells and underside for corrosion.
The color matched hardtop is a nice to have. Some people do not care for them but personally I find it really transforms the car in the winter. The liner, if original, is almost certainly sagging but is an easy fix.
Overall the car looks to be well kept and original. 
The lighter color convertible top shows dirt and stains much more than a darker car.
The color is an aquamarine that looks either green or blue depending on the light.
The faded badges front and rear are very typical for the MG TF. The wind blocker is a nice little extra, 
Personally, I am not a huge fan of the alcantra seats and changed mine out for leather. I did however save the original seats as they are specific to this model.
The carpet is pulling away from the door openings - this is very normal and can be easily retified by putting some dense foam padding under the footwell carpet.
If you plan on checking it out in person please advise and we can give you a few pointers of things to check.
Personally, it was the color scheme of this particular model that attracted me to the car.
