The EH S4 never won Bathurst in series production racing. It shone in Improved Tourer class. Nevertheless the S4 has always been a favourite classic. Very rare back then,ultra rare now.
My father had a genuine S4 that he said used to belong to Beechey/Stillwell or some racing notable in the day, not sure after all these years. Normal 179, slightly heavier suspension but nothing else worth mentioning. It did have the purple S4 logo on the steering box, so that may have a different ratio.
