Just want say there is something special coming your way soon. Two weeks ago a thread was put onto the KGOC UK (Somethings do happen on there) a guy posted his 56 Lowlight and an early one to. I am not going to tell you much about the car but it has got an interesting history and some of you guys might know the car but all i can tell you he needs your help to get it back to original condition. Carl is not new to restoring cars,he drove down to Lavenham in a 56 oval that he restored took him 17 hours from where he lives. I would love to see this car being restored on are website but due to restricted site that we have i did after speaking with Carl on the phone that his car has to go on the Samba site where he will get the specialized knowledge he needs and to get this beautiful old girl back on the road. Bye the way John Carl wanted some photos of a nice lowlight so i sent one of your car i took at Romsey last Boxing Day hope you dont mind John. He thought is was fantastic

Well if you've been reading the recent topic about the '57 barnfind you'll know how everyone loves Lowlights around here. His '56 project build would be more than welcome. Pleased he likes my Ghia. Smile

BTW you've made a typo on your location. Wink
