Not for me, unfortunately.

Seen a car, great spec.

It's a '95 but has only done 20k miles. This strikes me as a garage queen and does put me off a bit as I imagine it's done a lot of standing around in its life. It also had a new clutch at 17k (is this normal wear rate?!).

It's also had 6 owners, which I know is more common for a car like this, but 6 does seem quite high...

I really wouldn't worry about owners at all. they got "flipped" quite a lot when they came out and that is not a lot of owners for a 15 year old car.

20k Miles is low and they are not hard to clock so I would want to see receipts/invoices to physically back up the stated mileage.

Clutch depends on usage and driver, but it would make me question whether the car hasn't travelled further.
