My mates Granada was stolen last night from a garage forecourt in Docking, Norfolk on the night of 3/7/13



It is exceptionally clean and has just been fitted with a 24v cosworth v6 and has 9j banded steelies which have just been painted grey

Anyone see or hear anything please get in touch

There is a cash reward for information relating to the return of the car

Thanks Billy

When the engine was being fitted I couldn't believe how clean it was. It must be near concours condition

I would start looking at banger tracks with unlimited banger racing on over the coming weeks ,(not saying its a banger just one of best banger racings cars)

RSI_TOM

Agree also with the banger racing theory.

Problem is waiting till an event crops up is probably too late as it will be wrecked preping it up for the track.

Might be worth posting up on the banger racing forums. Folk might be able to point you in the direction of racers in your area who might be on the dodgy side.

Norfolk is the banger racing mecca aswell. I would guess rhis is where this is headed. This used to happen a lot in the 90s from what iv been told.

BIL N KEL

I was told some good news today! It's not back YET but will be soon

any updates lads?

love to hear stuff is found

They have damaged the door lock, ignition barrel and done 36miles in it with no exhaust system (only manifolds). A few phone calls were made to friends in the banger scene and luckily a friend of a friend of a friend "bought the car off pikeys" Thursday morning. We were very lucky because we were told had the call came the next day it would of already been stripped ready for banger racing this weekend! But the car is back and even though it has some minor damage it's nothing what isn't fixable

cossiestu

Lucky! Well, sort of... At least its back safe, with minimal damage.
Granadas aren't exactly ten a penny if it wasn't seen again!

A happy end I wasn't expecting to hear

obrutsr09

Nice pleased you got it back

BIL N KEL

My mate hasn't even driven it since the engine was fitted it went to the garage to have some paint corrected from a previous job and it was meant to then go get the exhaust made and mot'd. When we picked it up from his mate he had a few Oldskool bangers there and I pretty sure he has the parts to repair it so it should be on the road soon. I will see if he wants to bring it to ford fair and display it on the passionford stand

Did he get the wheels back? Those steelies looked awesome!

That's good news!!

BIL N KEL

I didn't realise he had these wheels on it when it was stolen I see it the day before it was taken to the garage and it was on the banded steelies. They will be back on soon though

good news another mk2 aved from the banger boys.
i was surprised when i went to look at mine the seller was a banger racer, but he said he couldnt race it as it was too good. so not all banger boys are heartless.
ive got a grill for yours if you need it.

That is fantastic news and very lucky by the sound of it.

Any word on the thieving pikeys? Police involved etc ? or when are their caravans being burned down? About time some ''justice'' was brought to these thieving scumbags out there

kosman

glad its back,looks a lovely car that does,we need a mandatory shoot on site whenever someone see's a smelly pikey twat

xr2imetalhead

Youd think buying it off pikeys "cheap" in what turns out to be a decent shape car would have raised alarm bells

Infact why would anyone buy ANYTHING off a pikey?? theres a 95% chance its stolen goods so unless you are a scumbag why would you buy stolen stuff??
