Just heard about this. Mental that someone would have to balls to just hop in it and drive it out!

hope it gets found safe and sound.

it's not registered but to be honest at a show like that if that car drove past you'd just think ohh thats pretty cool, unless A) it was your car and somebody else was driving or B) it was being driven out the gate by a guy in an Airmax tracksuit

cars getting pinched used to happen all the time at the ford shows. It must be someone who knows a bit about the car.

im amazed that somebody just jumped in that and drove it off the show stand it was on without the owners noticing or people who know the car noticing and not saying anything to anybody and they just drove outa santa pod gates,unfortinalty its probly been stripped down already and never to be seen again,but it deffinatly sounds like who ever took it new alot about the car.

Should get in contact with santa pod as they have photographers that shoot peoples cars leaving. Might be worth a try.

cheeky motherfuckers, sad thing is not much would keep up with it, would be a police chopper job. im trying to work out how they managed to nick it from a show, unless the keys were left in it and it was parked up somewhere out of sight?

Why do people keep saying the keys must have been left in it. Its a race car - how many race cars use keys ? Also makes me laugh on facebook people asking why theres no tracker fitted

Probably just hopped in it, started it and drove off. Unless you know the owner of the car you wouldn't think anything else of it at a show if you saw someone getting in it, other then the owner might be taking it up the strip or something.

I noticed that
Some girl on about her boyrfriends impreza has a tracker fitted but she thinks it might have been an optional extra

considering it's a race car and i think someone said it's trailered, what size bloody fuel tank in it, can't be good on fuel and these cars normally have tiny tanks ?????

very gutted for the owner an dhope he gets it back.

According to the facebook Japspeed page on it, it has a 30 litre tank. so that's probably about 50 miles worth

They must be mad to drive it down the motorway and running the risk of the coppers seeing it.At least they have got it back.

Firstly I'm really pleased it's been recovered relatively undamaged.

Secondly, how comes the police didn't stop it looking like that and without number plate when they jump on me every 5 minutes because of my dodgy font front plate?
