Default Stolen: MK1 Lotus Cortina , Reg: DDO 214D , from Wanstead London E11

Not my car - details a big vague:

"Mk1 Lotus Cortina DDO 214D was stolen in the past couple of
days,

Please keep watch for any parts turning up, it was a non runner so
would have needed to be transported."

I believe this car had been off the road for many years and needed a full restoration. Please keep 'em peeled and PM me if you have any info.

Thanks.

just had a look on the dvla site, it says first reg 01/03/1980, date of liability 01/07/1981, manufactured 1966, so it's either been in a barn/garage for year's or been out of the country at some point

still a shame though will post on other sites

Thanks. Yes its been garaged for years. It was a non runner with a few bits missing so it could only been removed with a transporter.

Considering there was one on the Bay that was in far worse state than that for 35k...

Thieving little scrotes.

Generally, an Airflow Lotus that's all there but in need of a resto will go for £20-25,000.

Earlier cars do for more and minty mint ones do £45,000+
