Hi guys

a good friend of mines car was stolen last night from his garage it was locked away but they cut the gates off the yard and took it , its a non runner to so it must have been trailered . was stolen from south ruislip in middlesex ha4 between 2 and 6 this morning !

its a MK1 escort in orange with cosworth engine , cossie rims , it has AK automotive sunstrip across the windscreen and s2rs logos on the side windows he has spent the last 10 or more years building this from scratch and now its gone

its not the most un-noticible car in the world so if anyone sees or hears anything regarding its whereabouts can you contact me on 01895632652

cheers guys

here is a pic , its off facebook so some might not see it




cheers

There is a stolen car list on Pistonheads. Might be worth the owner getting the details up on there to maximise coverage.

 

cool ill tell him to list it on there to

 

Now, that's a nice car! Would love to think it was the 'Overhaulin' team going to finish it for him but I guess it'll be stripped. They knew exactly what they wanted.
Thieving s***bags.

What a bunch of cunnnts, thas proper wrong! Must be somebody who knows about the car or why go through all that effort for a non runner, bet they knew what it was all about, i take it that it was slightly better than your average joe blogs rat that u see these days!!!

Have you contacted the cctv people or highways agency to see if it has been spotted on camera??

 

it was a full nut and bolt rebuild , he finished it , it wasnt right so he stripped it all down again to repaint and rebuild , as i said it was a well loved car with thousands of man hours and pounds spent ,

the annoying thing was it was spotted on the back of a breakdown truck at 1pm today in southall but then dissapeared before it could be located

 

I've added it to the list on pistonheads for him Maggs

 

Sorry to hear this mate will keep my eyes peeled.

 

Terrible. Guess it will be locked away now only to re-appear on ebay in months/years.

Hope they find the thieving b******s and cut their ***** off!

 

Mother chuffers

 

have you seen this Maggs?

 

yeah , saw it , *******s !!!!

 

what a lovely car! whats wrong with people now a days! really hope your mate finds it in one piece

 

hopefully with all the facebook and forum presence they will find it somewhere in one piece

 

Mags sorry to hear this,what a bunch of c.nts

Hope you will find this car and *******s who stolen this nice car

Will keep my eye out in the area

 

 

Someone must know that van. Massive sun strip, colour coding (even roof rails by looks) silly mirrors etc.

 

ya know what i mean!! its not exactly your average astra van , it looks pretty new and pikey like (if you know what i mean) they normally have new vans round our way 61 reg transits with all the lights, trims etc. pretty stupid really unless that is stolen aswell

 

****ing hate this **** people spend hours and hard earned cash on cars for some aanker to feel the need to just do what they want this **** really ****ing pisses me off I hope you find the ***** before the police and beat the living *** outa them

 

Il be keeping my eyes out for these **** bags where was that pic taken with Astra towing it?

 

Theiving scumbags. Hope the car is found and the pond scum who took it get whats coming to them. Nice car too, i love the Mk1's, Mk2's and Mk3's, had quite a few myself over the years.

 

Prob sat in a container or back of a horse box truck on a pikey site. One reason my o/h thinking of getting a tracker

 

That van surely sticks out like a sore thumb and has pikey written all over it I'd muuuch round local sites having a quick peak in containers sheds etc

 

Remember this one? Very similar.

Just trawled through every astra van on ebay just in case they were trying to sell now its been spotted. The silver roof bars especially make it quite unique as well as the kit. Definitely later 2007-ish shape cos of the front bumper grill that can be seen.

No joy I’m afraid.

The fact that they have a van would make me suspicious that they also do house burglaries. Van may be known to the police already linked to other crimes.

 

the pic is from the hotel security cam at the end of the road from where the car was taken , i doubt very much it was towed far at 3 in the morning as the only cars on the road at that time are police and taxis , id emagine there was a flatbed waiting around the corner , the odd thing is another friend of mine was having a photo shoot for classic ford last month and he saw the white van driving back and forth past the pub carpark where he was having the shoot it then followed him untill he got out and confronted the guy who said he was lost !! odd

 

Very suspect. Can he give a description of the guy? Sounds like the van may be very local to the area then if it’s been about before! Escort may still be close.

One of my mates had his immaculate original escort rs turbo stolen in the same way at night off his drive towed off not running engine to not wake anyone. Ended up across town completely stripped with burned out empty shell within hours of being stolen. Lets hope this car is still in 1 piece. The owner must be so upset cant even imagine after the hours and love put into it. Makes you furious!

 

suspicius thing is a load of other rare fords have gone missing in the last couple of day making me think its a mass haul of cars ordered from abroad !
