Hi, sorry don't have photos and the memory is dim, I think I bought it in 1980-1 it was advertised in a sweet shop window in Old Coulsdon, Surrey about .25 mile from where I still live and as accurately as I can recall I paid £100 a replacement engine was got from G & GW Bridges breakers yard at Pease Pottage. In those days I worked for BT and 'borrowed' the oxy/ acetelene gear for a weekend and that was when the brazing bodges were done. At the time I had a beetle for trials/ rallying and a 'posh' car for work ( beetle, KG ) and I think my parents thought that 3 cars for 1 son was beeing a bit greedy and took up too much space so LOW had to go, it was sold to Mr Tony Higgins ( a relative of Simon Woodall of buggy fame) after about 4 Months.
The 59 was my fathers car bought when 18 months old and was taken of the road in 1975 due to a faulty gearbox and some minor rust issues with the rear body mounts unfortunately while it was being welded the headlining caught fire/ smoldered and was damaged and 'restoration' stopped, I have always intended to continue at some point but life seems to get in the way, but thats for another topic.
I have PMed my number please feel free to call for a chat.
