Morning all,

What would something like this be worth? Lowlight tourers are very thin on the ground - this one's a conversion, which makes valuing it tricky as there are few others out there to compare values with.

Would it being a conversion put you off?

If the price reflects the change, then personally I'd happily own it, so long as all the correct mods have been carried out to strengthen the shell.

Thoughts?

I wouldn't say no to it either, but it will never look like an authentic tourer, 'cos the rear windows should be separate side-screens on the low light! I suppose I would value it similar to a standard saloon, but I bet the buyer doesn't!

Interesting, I didn't know that about the side screens (never having really studied Lowlight ragtops to that extent).

Bidding finished at £6801 but did not reach reserve.

How much was the seller expecting for it?
The Classic and Performance website suggests £10,000 for the best of the MMs or lowlights, presumably saloons.
