But prices for a potentially compatible cistern and lid start at
around £250 (inc VAT & Delivery) which is fine if you want an exact
match with the rest of a coloured/sculptured the bathroom suite. But
a plain white toilet is a plain white toilet!

With a design such as the one you have surely any close look alike
would not look out of place. Others would notice that it's not original
only if they had an intimate knowledge if the white porcelain market or
if you told them.

I agree, but the cistern would have to physically fit well enough, even
if from a cheaper brand. As this one (and its pedestal obviously) is
20yrs old, it may or may not.

I do hope to fix it without having to re-plumb either the pedestal, or
just as importantly where the cold water feed emerges perpendicularly
out of the wall, via a cutout in the back wall of the cistern. And not
through the side or bottom of the tank.
