Theres one on ebay at the moment being sold stripped down into all the parts. Do a search for morris lowlight. It robably wont be cheap. I think you can get them in fibreglass as well.


Too many Minors so little time.....

I have a lowlight grille which is chome in pretty good condition. I am reluctant to let it go but if your need is urgent I would consider selling it for £50. You would have to collect it from Kingston, Surrey. Also have a sound but scruffy surround. £35. These are among the many spares I have fior my 1950 lowlight which has been sitting outside as a non runner for about 4 years because I have not yet managed to fit it with the ALTA head conversion which I have. I am under great pressure to get rid of it which I naturally don't really want to do but I have a 1000 and and MGA as well!

I'm part-way through repairing one. I did wonder about making a new one from scratch but utilising the top rail and bottom gills from a M1000 one. Wheeling the other bits doesn't look too hard but the time involved in welding and finishing would be high. It would be easier to fabricate one in Ali and with no gills at the bottom. There is, however, the possibilty that I won't need the one I'm currently working on but then you'd need the sid cowls, grille and lamps.
Wheeling these panels is hard on the thumbs and I've still not got my left hand working properly.
