Not without checking the SIDO with a dealer. The S-Pack used the same 18233 model code as the GL sedan although the trim code (C2) does help as it is the Chamois Striped Wool that I don't think was fitted to GL models.
Engine W is the 4.1 ALLOY HEAD HC (except NSW); paint code 7 is Sovereign Metallic; Trans code B is the 3 speed auto with floor shift. Cheers Russ

From my limited knowledge on Falcons
S2 trim represents some sort of S pack interior option , W engine code is 4.1 alloy crossflow (outside NSW) B trans is 3 speed auto (on the floor) R trans is 3 on the tree. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Hope this helps until someone more in the know answers. Sorry mod answered at the same time.

I've had 5 in total, 2 in White, 1 in Blue and 2 in Bahama beige.
My last one was the best, 1 owner, Bahama Beige, Auto, Efi, option wheels. Bought it in 07 with 214k's on it. Converted it to straight gas removing the whole EFi setup and ran the gas through an Impco mixer, rebuilt the top end to suit, polished the rocker cover, plenum and intake runners, converted to single rail 4 sp, rebuilt the whole front end, sports system and then sold it..
