This is a call to 3.0 litre Roadster experts. What are the distinguishing visual features of the S1, S2 and S3? A car registered in 2007 – 08 could be either an S1 or S2. Similarly, a car registered in 2010 – 11 might be an S2 or S3. I see that the dash design changed in 2007 and I notice several versions of the engine air intake parts. Is either of these features definitive? Does a Getrag gearbox signify only S1 or might a rolling production change have produced S1s with MT-75 boxes or S2s with Getrags? Perhaps the engine numbers are from different series or there is something in the VIN.
As you might gather, I am looking at 3 litre Roadsters and would like to be confident in assessing any car. Thanks in advance for any comments.
