Okay, a question/survey.............some cars came with a cable to  release the
hood and others with a rod.  I have heard that the MK1's came  with a rod and
everything after came with a cable.
When I got my MK1A over 20 yrs. ago it came with a rod.  It's  hard to believe
that the cable had been switched for a rod because just about  nothing on the
car had been changed.  It was as original as you could  find.  On Ebay 
there is a rod for sale that is claimed to come from a  MK1A.....   Item  
#251292299850  .
So, the question is, did anyone else have an original MK 1A   or MK11 that 
came with a rod rather than a cable?
