Real shame, seen this car at shows and met the owner. It's his pride and joy

 

I'm getting sick to death hearing bout so many old fords getting thieved!! Scum! Utter scum! Hope this gets found and returned in good condition

 

i dont think it would ever be seen again but you never know parts are rare as rocking horse shit for these now and may crop up unless someone has id for RS1800 all ready

 

I cant see the point in stealing this unless there is a buyer abroad waiting already

Just too hard to get rid of in the uk as theres so few

 

Why the fuck wont the police take car crime seriously??

This carries on and there will be a vigilante killing of a thief in the near future and a shock headline of "how can this of happened" yadda yadda etc.

Pretty fucking simple, if the 5-0 place it as low priority because its hard to catch the criminals and theres no money making in catching them, then its inevitable eventually someone is going to fight back and someones going to get killed.

Personally i think we should have more rights to use violent force to protect our property, however it will never work without the back up of the justice system and more aggressive policing as if owners up the violence, so will the thieves.

 

is there anyway i can contact the docks etc guys

 

Just ring them up. Must be a phone number in line. But they won't be able to tell you what's exactly in the containers I'd have thought?
These thieves will eventually get caught if they are selling them on that is. Even if these rare parts come up for sale it should be a red flag to someone.
Warren, your right again mate. That's the way public mentality is heading with this

 

It's mint, so I'd guess it's been stolen to order and will remain in someone's private collection.

At least the insurance will pay out, must be insured for around Ł50,000.

 

Its just shocking hearing stories like this. I really hope you get it back.

 

Hope it gets found soon in one piece (unlikely though), must be going abroad as everyone else has already said, as its such a rare car it would be hard to hide in this country.

 

I think this would be the case for many cossies too. It may be worth searching on line to see what the demand is abroad on various forums???

 

Who's saying it won't go straight into co.petitions here, those motors to replicate from Burton are mega mega money and here someone has a complete car to park side by side and transfer - cut the chassis plate off the mk2 weld up and repaint put graphics on and away they go with another shell

 

Horrible to see this happen to someones pride and joy I hope they find the people responsible.

 

That car will be kept in one piece I reckon. Pointless turning into anything else, too much work and expense.

 

Seems like alot of hasstle for a old escort.

 

I thought these were rarer and more exclusive than a RS500! Proper Cosworth engine with "heritage"! I think it is a BDA. I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong!


So sad that really serous security is now required to keep these cars now!

I also believe that warren is right, it is a matter of time till a well motivated and trained person is there to stop a theft. The the smelly brown stuff will hit the fan.

 

How can anyone that calls themselves an enthusiast instigate the theft of another enthusiasts car! Let alone sit back and admire it in their collection knowing it's stolen!

 

Sickening to read of this theft.
Really hope it is found and returned to the owner.

 

Absolute cunts

 

hope they get it back that is bad news, they must have planned it to take that much effort to get it out, unlikely its going to be found sitting around if they planned it.

BDA motor is worth a huge amount now, and a group 4 spec Rally Escort Rs is worth Ł60k-Ł100k so you can see why it might get stolen to order, hope it turns up.

 

Car was stolen from a house near Smallfield, Surrey (M23 J9) not Sussex as originally stated

 

Tossers ,is this pauls car

 

to much of it going on one of the reasons i got rid of mine to easy to nick ,im gutted for the poor bloke

 

If the car is in such a showroom condition and worth so much money why is it been left outside in the elements?

 

should never have been stolen and feel for the guy but is shocking that such a rare care would be outside, chained up or not.

 

could have been left out for a might to go somewhere EARLY the next morning....

and just because the "bastards removed a post that was in front of it and a chain that was around the back axle, the pricks even took the concrete & post out of the ground, removed the chain & nicked them as well!" doesn't mean it was outside.... I have done this for cars inside a garage too.....

 

Sickening :-( Really is making me think twice about sorting my Escort and using it again. Owner must be gutted.

 

Sad for the owner but if it was left outside regularly then that's just madness for such a rare car.

 

cant see a car of that worth being regularly left outside

 

Me neither tbh

 

Pretty sure it wasn't left outside, he restored it himself in his garage I remember reading.

 

bloody horrible to read I hate seeing things like this thieving swines

 

To go to the effort of taking it with the post and no one hearing anything, whether in garage or not, they've been watching it for a long time! If it was outside surely you would have it camera'd up?? I know I would.

 

Really hope the car is found and returned to its owner
hope the scumbag/s who have taken it have a stroke!

 

Are cars not meant to be used then if not what's the point of having it? Sorry to hear about it fingers crossed it gets found

 

Is there any updates on this car yet???
