Thread: what are these sides off?

I belive there for the earlest series 2s that were ment for the UK home market.

They are quite rare

My series 1 roof is the same as that - windows on the side and nothing at the back so I would say they are standard series 1 roof sides.

Mine is the same as this.

A widowless version that has had side windows retrofitted?

Cheers, Mick.

they are definitely unmolested and are the same as the other sides that came off a s3 but just do not have the windows in the rear.
I guess i better not scrap it then

They look like standard S1 to me, vertical sides, don't S2 slope inwards?

Terry

ah yes good thinking Terry they do. so they must be off a s1 or an early s2 that they put the s1 roof on

Series 2. They look too short in height for Series 1, I think you will find that measuring the width of the panel that does not have a window, you will find that it is tapered, making it 2/2a/3..

Series 2, or at least early ones, did not have a window in the rear panels. Not sure when they introduced it, but I suspect about 2a (1961). Hardtops without the rear windows are quite rare - they were only produced for about three years, compared to the twenty years for the 2a/3 ones with the windows. I had one like this - 1958. It is possible that aftermarket windows have been retrofitted to some.

I will get the measurements next time i am there.
I have a s3/2a and a s1 86' roof sides to compare
