Hi

The body of my '65 P1800S was made in the Cowley plant of the Pressed Steel Company (there is a very obvious stamp in the engine bay).

Does that mean that Pressed Steel continue to make the bodies when the cars were assembled in Sweden? I had thought one of the main reasons that Jenson stopped making the P1800 was the quality issues, primarily from the manufacture of the bodies.

Perhaps I am wrong. Anyone know?

Cheers

Pete
