Plus a 4 door, no offence but not the most desirable for most enthusiasts to buy, never the less its some ones pride and joy and sad to read such bad news, probably end up as a banger or parts car.

The only reason you'd steal that is to Banger Race it. Poor lad, I hope he gets it back asap.

Yep almost certain the pikeys will have had that, probably in bits by now, classic banger racing strikes again the Bananarama!...,

Bananarama!.....

I also thought 4 door, limited sales market without being caught = Banger racing....... :(

There must be a UK banger racing forum..........I would get the word out via there and also contact the tracks local to his home (within 100 miles).

Sadly I think by the time its seen again it will have been stripped and strengthened............ :evil:

You can only hope these people get caught and spend a long night in Jail with Big Rufus, whilst having someone else burgle their house.........Oh I so believe in Karma! :D

That's awful to hear.
Hopefully with it being so distinctive it'll turn up.
As an aside, I know the '70 shape is a bit marmite but I think they look absolutely fantastic.

Unfortunately if Karma was a thing then Gypsies and Banger Racers would have given up long ago. Karma is something weak use as a crutch much in the same way some feel their dead loved ones are in heaven watching down on them.

Be handy to know things like engine number,and keep an eye on the 'bay. Bits will be sold off if it's banger boys.

Just been on bookface to share this and it's already plastered absolutely everywhere.
Hopefully it'll feel like too much of a hot potatoe to whomever has taken it and they'll just dump it like that beige Jaguar 420 that was dumped in a layby a couple of years back with the front wings already trimmed back for racing...

(... and hopefully before they start "prepping it" I should add!)

There's a name for these sort of people , Bananarama! bags. When / if these people get court our weak laughable government / laws / pilocks in power will give them a slap on the Hand (don't do it again or you MITE get a fine) what I would do is cut off one of there hands they wouldn't do it again and we would start getting our crime rate down ! It's quite simple , people would soon start getting the message, this is why our country is in such a state.
