    Car no. 246 of a total 863 produced in the UK, this authentic right-hand drive 4.2 litre Series I was built in April 1965 and has recently undergone a full restoration to world class standards. Every element of this car has benefitted from expert attention ensuring a comprehensive restoration to original specifications. Believed to be the only SI 4.2 in Australia with a genuine factory detachable hardtop making this is an extremely rare car.

    The only series with a genuine factory hardtop?

    I've got 2 4.2 s1 roadsters both with factory hardtops.

    Thank you for the additional information John. Would you mind confirming that both your Jags are fully restored, that they are in Australia and if so where, and the VIN/Chassis numbers so that I may amend my statement appropriately.

    Kind regards
    David

    Given non response regarding the thread dated 4.1.2014 I can only re-confirm my position that car no. 246 is believed to be the only SI 4.2 in Australia with a genuine factory detachable hardtop making this is an extremely rare car.

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
