Delwyn Mallett's 356 Coupe stolen - NOW FOUND!!!!!

[KS]

Probably one of the best-known 356s in the UK (for all kinds of reasons!), Del's 'Streamliner' 356 coupe was stolen last night from his house in Farnham.

It is chassis number11176 – a Reutter-bodied 1952 coupe modified with full Le Mans-style fender skirts all round, louvred rear quarter window inserts, through the bonnet fuel filler, etc. The Police haven't even come round to see him – they say there's nothing they can do but hope it gets picked up the the ANPR cameras (what a f+++++g joke). It's probably on a boat, or on a remote farm, but it will resurface sometime, surely?

It disappeared sometime between 9.00pm Monday night and 8.00am Tuesday morning (today).

PLEASE tell everyone and keep your eyes and ears open. Del's owned this car for ever... His number is 01252 726731 - mine is 01208 871490

Awful news, let's spread the word and hope it turns up.

Unbelievable!! you wonder why you pay your taxes when in the hour of need the police couldn’t give a sh*t.
I bet if you stole the value of the car from the state the police would be interested then.

I hope Delwym gets his Porsche back.

Terrible news - surprised to hear that such a unique/easily-recognisable car was targeted

Terrible news.

Stolen to order for some murky hidden collection in a far away land would be my thoughts.

This car is far to distinctive to have a quick blow over, new VIN and back on the market.

Pro theft surely, probably been casing the place for weeks. Horrible thought but I bet it's long gone, doubt the police can do jack sh*t and they know it.

Let's hope his insurers don't try and wriggle out of a payout.

Just horrible

Awful news & as said, it's one of the most distinctive cars around.

just tell the police he'd left his shotgun in the back .. that would get them looking

Then he'd lose his license and be in serious trouble for not correctly storing it.

... and they still wouldn't look for the car

That assumes he's actually got a gun anyway, which they could find out in seconds.
