Was an Option...


Either a "custom" or a "Non-custom"

Custom came with a sunroof... along with elelectric windows, heated screen ( Not sure on anything else )


Obviously the non-custom didnt come with the above

Yeah, on VERY early cars, the Recaros were an option, but by the time the 90-spec cars were out, it was all standard

and to my knoledge there was a few shades of mercury grey that ford used!

my mates got a s2 turbo with the paint code (mercury 1) on the body plate

its the best grey they did! deepest shine! and the rarest!

fords wanted him to show the car at nationals this year!

so have a look to see what colour yours is!

I know the Recaros were an option on early cars, but i've never seen a S2 without them!!!

Must be quite rare to have one like that
