escortmad79 Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Red Mk2 Fiesta XR2, F220PAR, Hadleigh, Essex 26/09/18 Red Mk2 XR2 reg F220PAR was stolen from the driveway of an address in Hadleigh, Essex between 10PM on Tuesday 25th & 5AM on Wednesday 26th September 2018. The car has colour coded bumpers, door mirrors, bodykit & rear spoiler & is fitted with Ford snowflake alloys. The car is fitted with a stainless steel exhaust system, black tinted rear lights & clear front indicators. It is also fitted with headlight protectors which is unusual. Inside the car, it has RS Turbo front seats with the rear seat & door trim retrimmed to match. The owner has had the vehicle for nearly 30 years so understandably holds great sentimental value to him & his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 my wife is fairly certain (not 100%) she saw this car this morning around 7-30am in Hobleythick lane driving towards the Bell, she distinctly remembers seeing it because it stuck out like a sore thumb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escortmad79 Posted September 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Had 3 seperate reports sent to me this morning stating that the car was seen being chased by an X5 police car this morning driving through Tilbury, unfortunately it looks as though they managed to lose the X5 when travelling through a field!

Rich T Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 How does an XR2 lose an X5 across a field? I hope the car is found soon and still in decent shape. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 thirded lots of cars end up at Tilbury, hence its ANPR city ,its a big dock full of container ships, and tbh, not a very nice place, you wouldn't want to go out at night thats for sure, cars aren't the only thing that go missing around there, bet your life that car is now sat in a container ready to go abroad if the owner is really lucky ,then it will only be joy riders or someone that wanted a car to get home my daughters car ended up there, it was someone who just wanted a car to get home, but they kept driving it till caught, but wasn't a classic either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the chassis of a Reach stacker at 2am in the morning repairing a transmission harness with just a head torch on. I heard a noise behind me and I kid you not, there was a set of white eyes and teeth just looking at me. "Do you need a hand Boss. I am Mechanic" To say I sh1t a brick was an understatement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortmad79 Posted September 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 Through a contact I have, the port of Tilbury police are aware of it & will be keeping an eye out for it. The XR2 lost them in a park so hazard a guess they escaped through a narrow exit that the X5 couldn't get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuili1 Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Actually, have you seen a X5 on wet grass! Wet grass up hill and my money would be on the XR2. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
