Darryl Emmerson has gone and bastardised one of the earliest
Minors around - a 1949 Lowlite.
After cutting 7 1/2" out of the roof height and moving
the rear window forward about 6", Darryl also fitted
a Carson top (a solid roof that is upholstered and padded
to make it look like a convertible).
It's left hand drive and is powered by a 3.5l Rover V8
from a Rover P6. Rear wheels are Auto Zodiac Centerlines.
Darryl's first outing was to the UK Street Rod Nationals
where I spied it in the campground. Here's some pics that
he sent me.
Great job Darryl !
