The less obvious parts of the TOMS that are usuallylay missed is that it should have ball diffs and the yellow 3 piece wheels, ideally both sets of wheels and option house tyres to be complete. The carbon fibre weave pattern should be seen in the carbon fibre chassis plate, but the upper deck should be black fibreglass. The lwb conversion also uses a carbon fibre chassis. A genuine TOMS belt guard would be clear, the smoked guards are standard Mid Custom and Custom Special parts. It should also have gold shocks all round.
The description of the car above sounds like a standard Custom Special with platinum rear shocks. Also a lot of old cars looked like a TOMS as the standard Mid Custom body was almost identical, the only difference being a bump added to the left sidepod to clear the servo arm for the MSC.
