This looks like US bumpers - fitted to all production from Sept 83 - and new wheels (same date). Jan 85 new wheels again. Jan 86 brought fuel injection (S3) but nothing external. March 87 new soft-edge body (S4) - which this is not. Wheels here are Jan 85 onwards so late S2 or continued into S3. S3 had small indicator ahead of front arch - impossible to see if present here. http://astonmartins.com/car/am-lagonda-series-3-v585/ .
