Other cars known to the Register

There are several Lenham Fastback and Lenham Le Mans coupes with Sebring GT fronts (in addition to the 3 cars on the register) - this was a favourite period combination, perhaps due to Twyford Auto Conversions, the Lenham main agent in the late 60s, also being a W&P agent, as shown below from these pictures in Cars and Car Conversions Magazine August 1969 - (this car survives in Australia):

There are also at least eight Lenham Le Mans coupes with Sebring GT fronts in Australia, plus John Shepherdson of the Lenham Spridget Register has just acquired a spare front for a future Lenham GT project. Please see the Aussie Lenham "GT" link page.
