Sure you can CALL it original. But would it be original? Yes to the UK points system, but not to me...

I think that MK2 is a two year restoration working on it full time. Could be more. Every square inch has to be touched many many times. A complete Unmolested car.

I don’t see a non mk1 ‘s’ car selling for more than $30k. In any case, i hope whoever buys this car saves it.
