Does make you think, these kind of people really dont give a shit . Driving up a motorway in daylight with 2 stolen cars

This was nearly 2 days ago now so they could be anywhere . were either of the cars up for sale or is it a case of inside info as to where they are parked up overnight etc . Bit worrying owning a RS these days .

Theirs a good chance they weren't but then again it less obvious in the day than transporting at night

Low life theiving bastards, lets hope the cars are found in one peice, reading stuff like this to much now, how do you stop them taking your pride and joy ? 10000 volt car alarm.

Still doesn't mean they have been nicked - i will have mine on a transit in a week or 2 and transported in the daytime but it's just being moved to the bodyshop so it may end up being innocent

gary jones

I may be able to explain this.
I sold my S1 and it was picked up on 23rd with a single car transporter with a trailer on the back. My S1 was picked up from Scotland and he was then going to Chester to pick up a Moonstone RS500. So the S1 would have been on the single car transporter and the RS500 on a trailer being towed by the transporter.
They were then being taken to Kent for the new owner. I think this may have been what you have seen on the 23rd as the timing would be about right.

Any more info or links to the stolen 3dr from kent

gary jones

Yes that would be the RS500 he bought.

Cossie Sean

its a poor show that everytime theres a post about High class Fords on trailers/trucks that there presumed stolen.

not who just bought this..............smilie face

hope that didnt come out wrong, theft has made us all jump to conclusions, which is good for keeping a look out, but bad from point of view of genuinely interested enthusiasts taking their new pieces of love home

sad times in my eyes

bring back capital (corpral maby? lol you can tell i left school at 14 )

Hi Phil,

3 Door from Kent, listed on Facebook was mine and here is my link from the RS Owners Club Forum back in January when i first found out about it.

Thanks

TBH i would have thought that if someone was transporting 2 stolen cars in broad daylight they would at least try to cover them up so that it's not so obvious what cars they are so i should imagine it is the totally innocent option suggested by BRAMMER and gary jones rather than the stolen one.

Congratulations on joining the Moonstone 500 gang we are a small but happy bunch

I looked over your car about 2 years ago when it was still with the first owner. Cheshire classics bought it about a month or so later. If you would like any background info on it then drop me a pm.

CHT

Guys. Just a quick post to put your minds at rest. I run a company called CHT ( www.cht.me.uk ) and transport cars throughout the UK. I was the guy seen on the M54 coming out of Shrewsbury with the 2 RS vehicles on my truck & trailer. They were definitely not stolen, but being moved to their new home for a client. Being a car enthusiast myself and a member of The XR Owners club and an XR Owner, I feel it's a good sign that these type of vehicles are noted when moved or seen in public. This can be a good weapon in the never ending, and ever increasing, war with the thieves! Regards, LM of CHT.
PS - they didn't 'arf get some admiring glances en route! LOL.
