Early lowlight engine on ebay

Post by sparesman »

Just spotted this engine on ebay. Has early lowlight head on it. Would need collecting from London.

That is a Series E head. If you check out the sellers other items and look at the 948 engine also listed in picture 5 you will clearly see the sidevalve in the background.
The dynamo bracket gave it away for me before I checked the other items :wink:

Yes it is. The photo I saw didnt show the front end of the head.Would still provide loads of useable spares for someone.
