does the 111s s2 only have amour fend on the passenger side?

[daves_gt3]

After much searching on forums and viewings of sport 160's s1, i think im going to go for an s2 111s.

couple of questions.
does it only have armour fend on the passenger side? i have seen one but there is none on the driver side

ive only ever driven the s1 111s and loved it but will i be dissapointed with the s2 or is it a better drive? i love just to scoot around town. its the handling i love more than anything. not one for top end speeds but love the 0-60.
am i looking at the right car?

cheers

You won't know until you try one...

By armourfend, do you mean the rear wheel arch protection film? If so it's fitted on both sides but can get manky after a while so could have been removed. However without it the wheelarch will get peppered with stone chips

I believe the s1 111s has a more close ratio gearbox than the s2 111s. In the s1 the standard had wider ratios and the 111s closer ratios, while in the s2 it was just the other way around.

You're right.

I personally found the S2 111S lacking in feeling of outright accelleration compared to my 160, but you're not comparing apples and apples as they are so different in so many respects.

The S2 111S is the perfect everyday Lotus I'd say.
