1989 S2 Cab

hi all,

i am the proud new owner of an 89 S2 cab here in singapore.



collected the car over the weekend and took it for a long shakedown drive.

a couple of things i need to put on the shopping are a new cam/valve cover and gaskets - i can find the gasket sets but can't seem to find any covers for sale. has anyone got ay leads?

roof to window seals need replacing. i understand that these are NLA - anyone got any ideas? i have tried the usual breakers.

the roof is stuck down and the owners manual says that i can use a spark plug tool to manually wind the roof up, but i can't work out where that's meant to go - any leads?

i guess the best bet is to convert the roof to manual operation but i would like to keep things stock if i can. did any cars come with a manual roof or was the electric a standard fitment?

the gear stick boots/garter area gets very warm (could even say hot). what does this mean? gearbox overheating or exhaust leak perhaps?

other than that is drives very well. the gearbox is lovely to use (compared to the 4 speed in my 930 and the 915 in my SC) the balance of the car is very, very flattering for a man of my limited driving ability and the engine pulls very well indeed. fells stronger than the published 207bhp.
