THE CAR HAS BEEN FOUND, INTACT!!! Won’t go into details, but just to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone for spreading the word. It appears to be undamaged, so that is a relief. We think whoever stole it was either scared by all the on-line publicity, or was simply waiting to see if the car attracted any Police attention due to a tracking device being operative… Beers all round tonight – thanks everyone. This has shown the true power of the Internet, and proved beyond all doubt the closeness of the Porsche & VW communities!!!
This message has just been posted @ DDK – Die Deutsche Klassiker and it’s clear we need to keep our eyes open to find Del’s 356!
Delwym Mallett’s 356 Coupe stolen last night!!!
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. 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

“In 1945, the Nazis went to the moon. In 2018, they are coming back” is the strapline of the new movie Iron Sky that has just premiered at the 62nd Berlinale (Berlin Film Festival). A comedy about Nazis in space, it has had mixed reviews but by all accounts the CGI effects are very impressive.
Check the two attached promotional pictures to see what car these guys drive. Well, what did you expect? Good call!
