What is the 'S' trim package

Highfield · Post by **Highfield** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 8:34 pm

I noted Alan.UK is selling some rear bumper corners with the 'S' wide trim insert.

This got me thinking (dangerous territory I know).

What exactly is the 'S' trim option - keen to see if any of it is fitted to my humble 'T'.

Pictures would help as always.

As I understand it S trims includes rubber/chrome bumper protection, anodised wheel arch trims, and chrome sill trims.

The usual 'S Appearance Group' package included:

F&R wide 'S' bumper trim
Wide alumimium sill trim
'S' gauges (except rev counter)

but any 'S' options except the engine could be ordered :

'S' front spoiler ('72/'73 only)
'S' front brakes
F&R antiroll bars
Koni shocks
6x15" Fuchs etc

How can you identify S gauges as opposed to std T ones, my car had the S bumper trim and wide sill trim and also the roll bars, wouldnt know the difference with the gauges though.

My old Sepia Brown 'T' (now owned by Ron Vincent) has an S Trim pack on it.

Ian - the 'S' wide sill trim is the part arrowed in the picture below:

Steve - 'S' gauges comprised:

combined fuel level + oil level
combined oil temperature + oil pressure
rev counter
speedo
clock

Although you rarely see original non-S gauges still fitted these days, unless they were ordered with 'S' gauges, T models (& for some years E models too) came as standard with:

fuel level only
oil temperature + warning lights
rev counter
speedo
clock

These are standard T trims

Thanks for the pictures - a great help.

So I have 'S' width bumper trims ?

Wide sill trims :-

Fuchs 6 X 15

Are these 'S' guages ?

Finally, I have Front & Rear anti roll bars (no picture)

Not sure whether to go for a front 'S' spoiler or not, as if it reduces ground clearance, it may not be so good for planned 'B' road regularities.

Looks like you have all the S trim

same as my T. I also have the S front spoiler and ground clearance is never an issue, you can still park a bus under it

Gary - great looking car after the rebuild.

Original 'S' steel bumpers are expensive, and not sure if I really need one, so will do a 'poll' posting.
