Hi all.. I owned and loved a red Mk1 GTE in the 90s and my heart is tugging to get one again. IF I went down the line of getting one, are parts still pretty regular? or... am I opening a can of worms ! thanks

30 on the road is probably optimistic.

Parts wise, most things are available, but will take a bit of time and searching to track down.

When looking at a car, unless you know the history or have proper evidence of a restoration, assume it will need one.
