ABS wasn't optional on any of theml, the early S2's had the option of a sunroof, electric windows, Recaros and electric mirrors

I thought the early cars had it as an option and it became factory fit after 89.

Mind you I wonder how many cars still have the ABS as mine certainly doesn't anymore

A friend of mine has a very early D plate S2, and im SURE it doesnt have ABS although haven't seen it for a while, and it also doesn't have Recaro's which she told me was an option on the early ones and i must admit "lying bitch" rolled through my mind

I had one of the first D plate S2's, registered Aug 86 and that had ABS...but the buyer also took the options pack of electric windows, mirrors, central locking, the whole lot.

As far as I know, ABS was standard on all S2s.

there's a thread in gen disc about the ABS and MOT stations, I think the gist of it was that if there is no evidence of it ever being there the MOT tester can't fail it for not having it even if it came as standard
