Probably been done before but I want everyone to vote and to say why!
For me its gotta be the Series 1, you don't need to mess with them at all for them to look so good, and there more of a Motorsport car than the S2 anyway!

Owned an S2 for almost 8 yrs. Just replaced itwith an S1. S2 is more modern looking : external & internal, but the S1 is more hardcore looking if a little 'dated' inside
Had much more 'respect' with the S1 in the last yr than the S2 had over the time I had it & had so many top comments with the S1: but I did love the S2.

You say that about the interior mate but I reckon a Series 1 interior beats the early spec S2 interior hands down, that stuff belongs with the base models!
Not saying I don't like 90 spec tho!

didnt know their was a difference in handling, wots different? the thing with the series one is they only look good standard where as series 2's can look good standard or with a few extras, and they forgot to put the bonnet vents on the series 1 too
the series 2 also has better brakes

Didn't Series 1's have adjustable TCA's or something, better more so than the S2 anyway, sure someone can elaborate! lol
Brakes, may be better, but not by much! Think Ford got that one more than abit wrong on both version's!
It depends on what you want to do with the said cars. If you want to keep thing pure, and not f"@'k about with it then S1 all the way!
BUT, if you are serial modifier and just wanna make things faster and flashier then it has to be the S2!
Personally I would love to own a S1, but then I would also fancy an Escos, TVR Tuscan, a 3 Door Sierra - the list goes on!
So I have to make do with what ive got - a wicked little H reg XR3i - does me fine
