These have been on my phone for ages. All seen on the same day in the same scrappy. ^ Spotted this on the way in - Renner 21 Turdblowa all stickered up for the Scumball Rally! ^ Blimey! Alf... err... Lancia... ummm.... yeah whatever. Rotten as a pear. ^ P1800 Coupe! Looked fairly sound to be honest. Is the coupe quite rare? Lovely thing anyway...

That P1800 doesn't look in too bad nick TBH, better condition than the one I had a month before the Amazon.......
Well, I'd definitely have some bits off it anyhow.
What's the purple pillarless coupe? Jag XJ Coupe?

I think that P1800 is an earlish one because of the chrome trim (missing) that curves up with the body line.

That Renner was road-going I think. Just someone down there scavenging for bits. Interesting thing about the gearbox though! I had the interior handles off that P1800 as they were dead interesting and chromey. Some adaptation and polishing and they'll end up on the Benz in some form or another. The chassis looked largely OK, it looked like someone had lost their rag with the project and called in the scrap man That burgundy car is a Lancia I think... or an Alfa. I'm not sure to be honest!

I think that P1800 is an earlish one because of the chrome trim (missing) that curves up with the body line. I think it's an 'S' Seth, it's not one of the Jensen built British cars because it's missing the badge those cars had on the C pillar.

Is that normal?

The ones with the "cow horn" bumpers that curved up at the front were built in Slough IIRC. They were the earlier ones and production was transferred to Sweden after a bit as the quality was no good.

Built by Jensen in West Brom Chances are that this particular 1800S is completely rotten, as they are very rust prone
