Your kidding about the S2 aren't you ?! The T-18 i had was a series 2 - didn't mind the look of the front end but i hated the rear end, always wanted to swap the plastic crap over to the chrome bar to smooth the arse a bit

well I have not seen many Series 2, but maybe people didn't buy them coz they made an ugly car even uglier :wink:

i have a 3tg series 2 lol

The series 2also had 2 door handles per door, One for the front seat and one for the rear seated passengers.

And they had the "Mercedes" tails lights, a different bonot, black "B" pills covers and the mirrors are at the corner of the the door glass.

 

As for ugly, I must be looking at the wrong cars coz when they are done right the old TE72's looks pretty dam good to me.
