Re: Lowlight saloon on ebay
Had it been for sale before somewhere else? It looks pretty crispy - although fairly complete. Another optimist with a high reserve?
He also has 3 travellers listed for sale and they look even worse![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_frown.gif)

The seller was canvassing opinions regarding its potential value on a Facebook group last week.

Re: Lowlight saloon on ebay
It looks fairly complete and original but a bit crispy.
There were a range of values suggested for it, ranging from "whatever someone will pay for it" to the optimistic " ask £5000 for it" interested to watch and see what it makes.

Re: Lowlight saloon on ebay
The Lowlight caught my eye too, however if it looks this tired on top you can only imagine what it is like underneath. ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_frown.gif)

Busy collecting parts for my '52 MM Convertible and 1949 Saloon restorations. :o
Re: Lowlight saloon on ebay
Does not show on DVLA Vehicle check so no value to number. Original Oxford number as well from late 49 early 50. I had OWL on a Oct 49 Tourer several years back.

Re: Lowlight saloon on ebay
The highest bid on ebay was £1600 but the reserve wasn't met. Seemingly it did find a new home because it is now for sale on ebay again in Derby (was Shropshire before I think?) at a 99p start and no reserve......
MUCH better pictures show further rust but a fairly complete car. Seller claims it to be a 1948 but the registration number is later.....
Did anyone ask for the chassis number?
The new owner has obviously realised that the restoration is too big a job for him. At least he hadn't taken it all to bits first.......
Hopefully somebody will buy it this time and make a proper job restoring it![:)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Lowlight saloon on ebay
This new set of photos is certainly more revealing than the previous ones. Definitely looks like a big job, but it seems straight and importantly, not messed around with. Hopefully someone will take it on and bring it back to life. Would be a shame to see it broken for spares.
