rare 356coupé

That must be hard to get rid of. Must be stolen to order. Farnham is such a quiet place. May be a Morgan owner from Farnham can help the police here

Afraid to say, it'll never be seen again - a trophy in some rich criminals garage.

Rather like the painting that was stolen years ago from St Albans Abbey. Decidedly unique and of such a size that alarm bells would be ringing if somebody ever tried to sell it on the legitimate market.

That's almost certainly true. My cousin Tom had his Brough Superior pinched from outside a cinema in the late 60s. A couple of decades later he got a call from the cops in the US who had recovered the bike when they raided the house of a gang boss. Being such a rare bike they had little trouble tracking down it's rightful owner. In the intervening period the Brough hadn't turned a wheel, it had just sat there as part of a collection.

Oi



In all seriousness, yes that must have been stolen to order. Such a shame really as irreplaceable I guess

Not on facebook, can I get a quick precis?

Cheers,

Hi Graham the entry shows a number of photoes of the Stolen Delwyn Mallett's 1952 Porsche 356 coupe with the following caption :
This unique car was stolen form his home in Farnham,, Surrey, England, on the night of Monday 20th February. It is chassis number 11176 – a Reutter-bodied 1952 coupe with many unique features.

Sadly, the car is probably long gone from the UK and now residing in what I believe is now referred to as "New Europe"

Thanks WW!

I think you are probably right Bud...

Ah! You mean to the same place as several hundred outboard motors (including mine) stolen from the Italian northern lakes.
