Default S1 Stolen From Sheffield

Taken from rs owners club


Stolen 1985 Series 1 Escort RS Turbo Custom - C516 JHE
Over the Christmas & New Year holiday, my cherished 1985 FORD ESCORT RS TURBO CUSTOM C 516 JHE, which I have owned from new, was stolen from a locked garage in St Anthony Rd/Bole Hill Lane, SHEFFIELD 10. South Yorks. The car featured in the July/August issue of 'Rallye News' 2011 under the title of '25 YEARS OF LIFE WITH THE DASHING WHITE CHARGER' Thieves demolished the rear brick wall of the garage and got through all the security to get this car, so they appear to have been determined and professional.

I suspect the car has been stolen 'to order' and will end up being cloned by someone who has registration documents for a similar car which has already been scrapped...................or that it will end up in the parts bin on E-bay(!).

Like most members, I could identify this car easily, even without its registration plates.

PLEASE, if you see or hear anything about the car, or spot it (or bits you think might be from it) anywhere on your cyber-travels or elsewhere, do let me know. ALSO - If you belong to other forums and can post this message on them for me, then I'd be most grateful.

I'm prepared to offer a reward for information which leads to its safe recovery/conviction of the thieves.

Many thanks!

Andrew (Classic 51)

Fuckin' assholes... this is in rsmat's neck of the woods though, so he might be able to make a few calls and put the word about for the guy.


Cheers,

Do you have any photos of the car to post, is it standard or have any distinguishing features? Best of luck with the outcome.

This really boils my piss! What the fuck gives the scum of society the impression they can take what they want. If we had old school laws like chopping off the hands of theiving scum n hanging murderers this country would be a much better place!!!
I really hope the car comes back to you in good condition!! It's not like loosing a new car as this one can't be replaced as easily if at all.
