Doubt hers are as good as that, car is/was in California so is probably rust free if still there and on road anyway.

Not sure Chris saw the worse MK1 shed ever in San Francisco last year!

I doubt it would have passed our MOT but believe the laws are a bit more relaxed over there.

Ok should of narrowed it down to more like LA and San Diego area.
San Fran has a far more moist atmosphere.

Looks like a 'poverty spec' AW10 - 82bhp 3A-U 1.5 carb engine, and no rear spoilers

Dunno about that, silicone has a pretty good half life compared to steel.

The old girl may have sagged a little in the rear, but take her for a good run in a country lane - may still bring a smile to your face.
