Pistonheads one is #097 according to the ad, so definitely affected by project Drive.
Personally I prefer the looks of the MKI (and the fact that there are less made than the MKII) but others have an equal liking for the MKII (personal preference I guess)
Traction control is something you can definitely do without unless you want to get stuck on a junction trying to pull a fast one
The one on ebay is from a member called DerangedRover, see here:-

#097 is owned by Tractorpete, a member on here, and up for sale since end of last year. I'll see if I can dig out some posts.
