Saw this on the British Rally forums. Such a shame, saw it at Angelesy and FF, stunning car.

Heard it had apparently been spotted sometime this morning on a low loader? Hope they get found and castrated anyway, far too much of this going on.

I made a wee colourful poster and slapped it up in a few local shops and pubs last night around the area, I'm devastated it gone, can't believe someone had the balls to do that. Its not like they can strip it and sell parts on without someone noticing they aren't normal EsCos parts

If any breakers are acting suspiciously (as in won't let you go anywhere near a specific container, or get shifty / nervous when you ask what's in it), please let Richard / James know....

As has been stated elsewhere, the UK border control have been alerted, so hopefully this will make it harder to get out of the country.....

send me the poster if you have it electronically to raj@autoflock.co.uk and I shall pop it up around my area as there is a lot of "run" rally boys round my way who can put there ears to ther ground so to speak.

Same for you mike, if you have a poster or anything slat it over to me.

Discusting news, hope the car get recovered in good condition and the culprets dealt with acordingly, preffereably not by the authorities!

ive posted it on the stolen facebook page for you mate
(1) brother in law & brother who rent unit

(2) no it certainly wasn't posted anywhere & pretty sure wasn't followed as i drove it up there james followed me to bring me back.

(3) no one seams to have seen anyone hanging round its a pretty remote place on a narrow road with 3 terrace house's opposite the unit with oldish people & one each side

(4) it is insured for what it is but we are finding out about weather it has to be at a specific storage address

Thanks for all your help guys

if it comes to the worst wouldnt it be down to the garage to claim off their insurance? as the car was their responsibility

Jesus, it must be heartbreaking enough losing your pride and joy that has that much time and money invested in, but the thought of the insurance not paying out, well, thats not worth thinking about.


Genuinely do hope it turns up in the same condition it went missing in.
