Yeah i remeber the red one - on gold rondells, absoltuley stunning car

Stolen parts could always have been fitted onto "chav's" cossies etc who aren't exactly enthusiasts - hence why we never hear of the parts as they aren't really in the same circles as RS enthusiasts.

I remember that car.

It was for sale for £25000 I think, and the owner believed it was nicked by a fake potential buyer.

stupidly long shot, but was any parts quite unique to bruces car etc and is there rs forums for the other countries that u could have a quick scout around to see if u can spot anything. although im sure bruce has probably done this

cant believe that red es cos was trailered away from a show, how could some1 not notice that happenin and think 'hold on a minute'

Would think that an 'insurance job' is the most far fetched of them all, from what I can see Bruce was/is a true cossie enthusiast and would have had far more pleasure in driving the vehicle than having pound notes sat there for it!
