Quite a few changes some are;

Indicator sense colour, orange to clear,
Air conditioning on the S,
S has bigger brakes on front 330 tuscan had 297 or there abouts,
S has a bigger exhaust bore as does the Red Rose edition,
Different fueling chip and other small engine upgrades to produce 370-400bhp standard tuscan 350-360 bhp.
Rear spoiler added and indicators moved to rear body from rear screen mount,
Apparently better suspension but not sure of the details,
S models came with gas discharge headlamps,
S model came with a close ratio gearbox but not sure if this was standard on all S's,
S had digital radio and 18 inch alloys as standard.

There is more but I think thats covered most of it.

The S was basically a fully optioned Red Rose with added front and rear spoilers, along with 255 front tyres instead of the (at the time) 225 standards. Front discs (322 vs standard 304) were one piece on S instead of separate disc and bell set up on RR.

Indeed, Also Tuscan tyres were 235 front 245 rear, S sizes were 235 front 255 rear and limited slip diff was standard on S was it ever on MK1??

I maybe wrong, but as far as i was aware all have LSD, the S has the optional extra Hydrathingy

Correct. BTR diff is standard, Hydratrak optional or standard on the S. My Red Rose has a Hydratrak fitted - I only realised recently when I was going through some of the original documentation for the car.

[ripskin]

Good to know, does the Hydratrak thing make a noticeable difference?? Be good to see some Rolling road figures of normal and S cars now to see how they are holding up power wise pre and post rebuilds.

Much safer to drive, not so much spinning wheels.

Kind regards
