hi winnie
welcome to the forum
what's the story with this one then?
has it been in storage, are you restoring it etc.
looks very tidy body-wise
surprising how many nice sd1s live in the southern hemisphere

That's nice.... Must be a very early SD1 for Australia, one of the first
imported I'd guess?

Very similar to how mine started out, also built in 1978 as an Oz spec car, also in white. They were all autos, V8s low compression and extensively detoxed to meet the local ADRs, producing a measley 137 bhp, fitted with AlpinAir add-on air con by the local distributor (then Jaguar Rover Aust).
