The Thar #1 though, will be unique, and yes very exclusive therefore. This one of its kind All-New Thar will come emblazoned with the Thar #1 badge, distinguishing the owner as the very first one. Other distinguishing features on this Thar #1 will include customised badging on the vehicle which will flaunt the owner's initials, carry serial number '1' on the decorative plate on the dashboard and leatherette seats.

The winner of the auction will get a chance whether to opt for a petrol or diesel, manual or automatic and also hard top or convertible. There will be 6 colours to choose from namely Red Rage, Napoli Black, Mystic Copper, Galaxy Grey, Rocky Beige and Aquamarine. So we wait to see what the winner's choice will be.
