Secondly, I'm not a ffan of the 'stackable' roof on the later models. HAving to 'do a meercat' in the aero to see over the rear deck is for me a pain in the backside. The S1 doesn't suffer this - the rear view mirror shows me what is behind - and thats a major benefit during continental touring
Hi Rich
I concur with your 'form over function' comments on the look of the S1 compared to S2 or S3, and thus have chosen 'function over form' in buying my S2. Oh and side-pipes
and I also like the original lights for much the same reason AND that they were what people talked about so much. Especially now they are xenon
However, I must pick you up on the hood, whilst I accept that the S1 does pack away lower, I an 5'10" always use my rear view mirror with no obstruction of view whatsover, even though the rvm is too low on the windscreen in my opinion as it sometimes obscures my view of the front offside wing.
