Anyone know where I can get a length of original or classic looking vacuum hose for a Mk1 S?
I think (not 100% sure) that the original hose had a yellow stripe along it.

You can buy the yellow striped UK works style but I have not seen it fitted to Aussie cars. Our Mk1 S had plain smooth hose. The Mk2 S had a pattern.

The Mk1 may have been thicker walled because they had issues with the Mk2 style and had to fit an internal spring to prevent it collapsing.

The only document I have that mentions the servo hose is this one for the MK2 S. It doesn't say the MK1 was smooth but it implies it was because the criss-cross style was the way to identify the new MK2 hose.
