Short‑Lived Production Run
The Series 2 was built from October 1968 to September 1970, with a total of 18,808 cars produced during its two‑year span. This brief production window makes the S2 a relatively rare collector’s item.
Open Headlights and Modern Front End
One of the key changes introduced with the Series 2 was the switch to open (non‑covered) headlights, giving the car a more contemporary front‑face compared with the earlier covered units.
Rear‑End Redesign
The Series 2 received a restyled rear end, featuring rear lights positioned underneath the bumper. This subtle but distinctive update set the S2 apart from its Series 1 predecessor.
