Okay, I've got it now. More photos of the dead clutch. The pressure plate actually had a recess in it where the clutch plate was biting into it and the thrust bearing was bone dry. Wonder it worked at all.
The new clutch is feather light, just right for my lady. It still has around two inches of play in it but I will sort that out to Haynes recomendations. About 1.5cms if I remember correctly.

In defense of my wife's driving, which is actually very good, she's only been driving the car just under a year (2800 miles). The clutch pedal was very high when we bought the car and had I known how bad things were I would have passed on the deal or haggled over the price a bit more. But, too soon old, too late smart.
