The "whisky cars" - all P1800's as well.
Happened on the Thames so these may have been Jensen built!

When we had the building company I had a partner who wasn't particularly any good at spelling, ..we had a team of agency workers turn up one day and my partner was going around them all asking their names and writing them down, he asked one of them what was his name and when I was looking at the list my partner had written down "Morehamhead"Image

This was Storm Bella in Hove a couple of weeks ago. Better get that number plate transferred off before you lose it!

Not a big deal. Just another extremely ugly car lost. The world is a better place.
