I am intrigued by your vibrato tailpiece stabilising method. It must leave the arm protruding at an awkward angle.
HarrySeven is probably the best person to speak to.
I never had the trem arm with it so never noticed anything weird about it.
Indeed. Ridiculous overpricing.

I think £400-500 is about right but there are a lot around, and without being nasty... its a common colour combo. The 'custom colour' stuff (Ocean Turquoise, Sea Foam, Shoreline Gold) etc tends to be easier to sell for top dollar, so don't be surprised if someone low balls you.
The MIJ market is a bit of a mess right now - the Mexican guitars (the newer models) are knocking it out of the park right now and are taking over the market from the Japanese Fenders. As a result MIJ demand has stalled a little and whilst some are still trying to get the stratospheric prices of a few years ago, few are getting it. Even JVs don't seem to be hitting quite such high sums as they did - but to be honest, some of those prices were utterly ridiculous.
Good luck.
EDIT: I've just seen the state of the paint on the Jag... I'll revise that down a tad. Whilst its getting on a bit, there are similar guitars in better nick so I think £400 may be a little optimistic...
It is not that originality enhances monetary value. More that it makes schematic wiring diagrams easier for the purchaser to follow when upgrading to American pickups.
@impmann - fully take this on board, but personally, I'm quite fond of this colour and I've got a few Jags with SD Hot/Cool Rails and JB's in.
Shit...I'm talking myself into buying it.

1) you do not have the original pickups, bridge saddles and vibrato arm
2) you are not a guitar modifying fiend
3) you could not restore this particular guitar to stock even if you wanted to
4) this guitar must be sold "as is".
@impmann is correct to state that off-white with torty pickguard is run of the mill. It would need the gold hardware of the mid-Nineties re-issue production run to attract more money.
To be honest, when I first saw the OP guitar photographs, I assumed that it was an escapee from the @HarrySeven collection.

Indeed. Once a Fender Offset* falls within its gravitational pull, it cannot escape.

1) get Courtney Love to give you one
2) to wear it upside down.
