fibre glass pre-lits

[pre-lit steve]

I am hoping to do a register of all the fibre glass bodied pre-lits, the info I would like is: reg-chassis number-colour-engine-c.c.-year-used/stored. You can private message me if you would prefer that cheers.

You'll have my info tomorrow Steve

I have no idea if mine is a pre lit or not. Its a narrow body SE but has fibre glass body. Do I meet the criteria?

Hard to see from the profile picture, but looks like a later model as far as I can tell.

if there is a swage line down the side of the bonnet and nose then it's not a pre-lit.

"Swage" - noun - "a groove, ridge, or other moulding on an object".

 

Thought it was about time I looked it up!

 

I knew what it referred to, just didn't know the exact meaning.

Correct - high line narrow, not a pre-lit - sorry.

Thanks for the info, good to know these things. I have a feeling its lowline as when I brought spare bonnet and nose I thought they were low. But it does have a 'swage' line. Good luck in your search for the list.

It's hard to tell just from the avatar, but it doesn't really look like a lowlife to me, I'm afraid.

The low line is roughly 2" lower than standard, but the entire bonnet slopes down into the nose much more continuously than would appear to be the case in your avatar. Plus the headlights normally have the appearance of being higher and more exposed.

As a secondary thing, a tall engine like the C20XE would be way trickier to fit in a low line, if possible at all?

I'm sure they will gradually come out of the woodwork!
