    Unfortunately the car in the Youtube-video is not the one from the craigslist. Any Information about the Youtube car available?

    Peter,

    There's a second YouTube video with the car and owner in which the data plate is shown. It's 3194 and was built as 04-1N6B: Light blue with white and medium blue leather trim.

    Nice car on YouTube but this one is not the one from craigslist either. It is not pink enough. By the way I doubt that there is any video of the craigslist-car. When this bunch of junk was driveable and filmable, videos were not yet invented.

    Gentlemen,

    My comments were related to the restored red car shown in the second YouTube video listed. I suspect the seller was providing information to show what a MKII looks like restored (3194) to original glory.
    They were not meant to identify the car FS in the CL ad as chassis 3194.

    That red Mark is fantastic. I can see why he calls it a keeper.
