I bought a red, '81 S-type in late 1980. It was the first S-type available in CA, and I got it because my father owned the VW dealership. Joe Montana got the second one, also from my dad. After Superbowl XVI, Joe traded it in for a red Ferrari.
Not being an NFL Hall-of-Famer, I drove my Scirroco for 16 years and 225,000 miles, with no major engine work. And being in CA, this is the first time I ever heard of the rust problem. I lowered it slightly, beefed up the suspension, and put on racing tires, and that thing could really corner. The only time I lost a race was to an early Porsche. I finally sold it when I got married; too small.
Do I wish I'd kept it? No, I like my 911E.
