Very nice. Very OEM, even down to the OEM mirrors.
From the photos it doesn't like like it need much work, a bit of spit and polish and TLC, maybe.

Doesn't look like it needs restored to me!
I agree - if it is original, don't restore it Rob! They are only original once. In 20 years time, there will be loads (well, comparatively
!) of restored bikes, but hardly any original ones.
If it was mine, I would just dismantle, clean up, replace anything which is worn/broken/missing, sort out any problem rust and corrosion and put it back together. That will certainly keep you busy for a while, but should cost much less. If you really want to fully restore a bike, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding a bitsa, a basket case or something that has been crashed and/or neglected and NEEDS restoring.
However, it is your bike and it is your choice. I'm sure we'd be glad to be kept updated on your progress
.
