80 quid a tonne for 50 tonnes = 4 grand


Effect on that company though, totally devestating!


Well, unless they are insured, lol

Still a RIGHT ball ache for Bristol!!!

must take ages to steal 50 tonnes if it was that much.... all that hassle and risk for £4k!!! I am thinking these are NOT the most intelligent tea leaves out there

On the radio, they said they broke in with several lorries AND a crane, so I doubt they will be going for just £4k. Probably stolen to order for China or India according to radio.

Just seen what the bodywork is hiding on the new £ 1/4 million Bristol.

ROFL - this is from the sales website, so not a wind up.

BASE PRICE FIGHTER 'S'
£218,000
VAT £38,150
£256,150
