Glad to see another being saved
good luck with the project mate and gald you've got her back.
There are a couple of S1's in Oz as I recall, but they are one of the rarest RS's out there.

Good luck with the resto. It'll be a mamoth task but definitely worth it in the end once you can drive it over there in the constant sunshine
