A S2 was more toned down to match the fact it "only" had 130bhp. A S1 was a bit far fetched vs a s2. An S2 is miles better looking, even had a nicer interior, 90spec kits where the best and the had an lsd. So imho an s2 was a better all round car. Regret not finished mine!!
The S1 had a tighter diff, had shorter gearing, a higher rev limit, adjustable front tie rods which allows a bit of front end adjustment, and shit front brakes to make your bum twitch when you press the pedal! The S2 was toned down a little as they weren't intended to be used in motorsport like the S1 was (the Cosworth was due to appear for that role).
I think the S1 will increase in value and pull out a larger lead on the S2 than it already has, but then the S2 will start to increase too then shadow the S1 as the values change.
