Hi, and welcome to the forum. By the model designations and that I'm guessing you're in the States? Not wishing to seem dim, but that one in the top photo is a Series 2 isn't it? They both look good from here, but I think an FB always suits white... and photos can hide a multitude of sins. Look forward to a build thread

Yes, Hi tj,

I thought the same as Nik above. The top car has 13" series 2 wheels Yeh? ........Whereas the bottom car has 14" S3 wheels?

Anyway, welcome to our merry band.

US didn't have such clear model designations.

They are both built 84/85 but it's best to think of them as Series 2.5 and 3.5

The interior for example is different to our Series 2 and 3 so from the inside you wouldn't necessarily know which you were in.
