Hi everybody!
53, just bought my dream 2001 Spa Yellow AP1 with over 132,000k miles from its from new owner. She is even more vintage than me, and didn't feel she could drive it safely anymore. I took her almosy 10 years agao I would buy when it needed a new home, and two weeks ago it finally happened.
It was daily driven year round, outside parked (under trees on gravel, amongst hungry rodents) hit once, paint is strictly a 15 footer (at best), replacement soft top, 4 well curbed and permanently dirty wheels, stock speakers are toast, driver side seat has a crushed bolster, and well torn (and duct tape covered) seating area. But mechanically well sorted. I already love it to pieces. Restoration plans already underway.

and welcome! It was a woman owner? Trying to think if she could have been a member. Not that many ladies drive an S. Where are you located?
