Parts can be tricky to find but as with ALL classic cars if you know where to look bits can be found, if not, new can be made or equivalent items sourced. Yes after all these years rust is an issue under the bodykit if not already remedied but look at 911's and E30 M3's etc, they also have rust issues so no different to other classics in that respect.

Only 284 RHD cars were sold in the UK. Quite a few have been stolen or crashed so numbers have certainly dwindled. As a link to the parts scenario, those that have not been looked after also provide spares for the ones still going when they get broken up.

I'm also surprised that prices haven't gone crazy like other classics yet but it will happen and finding a mint low mileage collector car really is rocking horse do-da's. There are quite a few internet rumours that probably scare people off but find a car that has been looked after, with everything working as designed and they really are a mega piece of kit.
