Damn it!! Unusual that it has pinstripes instead of broad stripes

[285Andy]

must be gutted, poor bugger i know i would be after owning it for that long

[YOUNGY]

how sad poor bloke had it all that time and looked after it and some scum bags steal it

[Muppetboy]

This actually car is the reason a whole bunch of kids back in the early eighties in Birmingham got into cars and blue ovals. They would lean on the owners wall just looking and dreaming of owning such a car. All those chaps grew up into full on Petrolheads in and around Birmingham and now in thier late thirties and early forties are really pissed off that some lowlives have stolen this car.

 

I would hope whoever has the car has a decent bone in their spineless bodies and returns it.

 

Oh and I have to say that the guys are mighty pissed off and wouldn't like to be in the thieving scumbags shoes if any of them find out who they are.

 

 

So if the Thief is reading this, give it back you turds, for once in your miserble lives do the right thing.

Just read the about the same car in our local paper, scum bag bastards, the twats need hanging, strange my old mexico big wing got stolen from the same area 6 years ago, endded up in scotland burn out !,

 

Lock up your classics guys, i know i am

[RossMK2]

thay annoy me so much iv got mine in a locked and alarmed garage with my mum and dads cars in front and i still worry i only have to hear a knock when in bed and im looking out off window

[dannysmk1]

scum bags ,hope he or she gets it back.

[X FLOW EDDY]

They want there fingers crushing in a vice

[Glynn]

dam, to have it all that time and have some low life steal it, its just horrible. Bet he's gutted beyond belif poor bloke. I shall be keeping eye and ears open for him .

[mexman123]

What a wounder! I feel so very sorry for this guy that it brings a tear to my eye..Why oh why cant these people understand what they have done to this poor old chap, and just do the decent thing and return it? Even if they just park it up nearby and ring the police from a call box and tell them where it can be found. It really does sicken me to the bone that all of us that belong to OSF have now lost another (never to be replaced) beautiful unrestored, unmolested mk1 escort (and a genuine RS at that), let alone how the owner must feel. At this guys time of life (no disrespect implied), such a loss could kill him...i wonder if the thieving toerags would then find a conscience to return the car??? I really do dispair at peoples lack of thought and inconsideration to the people involved and the marque itself. These people must be 'into' old fords or they wouldn't go to so much time and effort to steal it...if that is the case, why oh why condemn another one to a worthless pile of junk on some traders autojumble table and the shell to a short rallying life where it will end up wrapped round a tree and gone forever...Just a complete waste of yet another outstanding part of our classic ford history gone for good...Sorry to ramble on, and i for one if i had the money would quite happily double this guys offer of a reward for its safe return just to relieve the anguish this poor fellow must have in his heart right now....This car must be found, and i for one will keep em' peeled in the Brummy area. Dear Sir, my thoughts are with you.....

[willsy]

What wouldn't you give for 10 mins in a locked room with the theiving scum?

[LaserCapri]

Such a shame especially since its such a rare car and the sentimental value must be huge. Surely there is some info on whats happening to all these loads of em are going missing hav any been recovered?

[skippy]

Bring back hanging !!!!!!!!!

[banarama]

get a tracker i have

[SebringRS]

get a tracker i have

 

Saw something on gadget show like tht. Looked really good until i saw the price £550

 

But i spose there are some out there tht are pretty much the same and probs conciderably cheaper

[Savvi]

I offered members a deal on a tracking system, but by the time you pay subs etc it does add up

 

 

You can buy cheaper ones but they don't work too well (i've been an independent accessor in 2 cases where the Police found the car by mistake and not by the fitted tracker) the ones i fit also cover abroad so if it did get there at least you'd still find it

 

 

Unfortunately they don't make the car look nicer or go faster which makes these sort of things last on the shopping list, 1st thing to be left off .......... until something happens to it
