A small protruding lip around the bottom of the rear valance appears to be a Sprint mould difference. S4 bodies do not have this lip and we can only assume that a new mould or part mould was used that resulted in this lip showing.

Nice photo Alan, John Whites is standing next to his ex Lotuis Europa Special (blue shirt) talking. Fosters Sprint is in foreground and the date is June 2002 I believe, I didn't know you were there, you should of stopped by and said hi

That's Foster Cooperstein's Sprint and he does know his S2s from his S4s! It's just that not everyone is as pedantic as you and me when it comes to stripes!

Funny that was just thinking that I should paint the S4 red, the S2 blue and...well the s3 I really want is yellow, so bugger patriotism
