trickyturbo Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 ass above boys and girls, you may remember the thread where my brother was struggling to get insured on his mk2 2 door with a pinto turbo in it??? well he could not get a quote below about £3500 so he decided not to drive and store it till he could but he did not want to leave it outside my mums house in leytonstone cos it would get stolen like my cosworth replica about a year ago, anyway we trailered it to my other brothers house in romford, he has a car park bit round the back and no one goes there, it was only going to be there till i get my new unit sorted in northweald, so its been there about 2 weeks, yesterday i was moving everything to my new unit including my mk1, and then we went to get my brothers car just to find it was not there we spoke to the lady next door and she said a whit transit pick up took it about 2 hours before we got there we have spoken to the local council and they have not had it and we have spoken to the police and they are looking for it so if anyone gets offered it or any part of it please let us know here is a breif spec of the car pinto turbo running on a single 45 blue rocker cover and strut brace the car is white with a white full roll cage capri lazer wheels single leaf springs red britax harnesses one off exhaust system little blue rs sticker on the back big blue and white sun visor that said "OLD SKOOL" no roof lining battery in the boot bias pedal box and a very unique twin remote servo braking system, both servo were in the boot please guys he is really broken up and i would really like to find it to cheers him up its a fairly unique car so i cant see them selling it off very easy, we have checked the local scrap yards and they say they have not had it cheers
Admin Vista Posted September 19, 2006 Admin Report Posted September 19, 2006 Commiserations mate, some people just aren't prepared to pay for things themselves! By the sound of it it wasn't insured either?
trickyturbo Posted September 19, 2006 Author Report Posted September 19, 2006 no not insured thats why it was going into my unit, to keep it safe, bit late though!!! hopefully we will find it
bobmk1 Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 really sorry to hear that ... will keep my eyes peeled
Jimbob-Squarepants © Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 Sorry to hear that mate! I remember your brothers thread about insuring it! I did have friends living in Leytonstone, but I think they may have moved. I will check & have words with their family! I don't live that far from you, I will keep my eyes open.
DEP Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 Sorry to hear that mate, wil keep my eyes and ears open for you, On a side note, It is possible to insure a car when its in storage at a cheaper rate than what you would pay if you were using it, maybe something your brother should look into if he gets the car back
flyingbanana Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 sorry to hear .....good luck finding it ...any pics so everyone know's what it looks like
Danmex Posted September 19, 2006 Report Posted September 19, 2006 Gutted mate, where abouts in Romford was it?

escortmad79 Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 Check that the council haven't taken it, mistaking it as an abandoned vehicle
105Nick Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 Check that the council haven't taken it, mistaking it as an abandoned vehicle He said they have, and it's hardly in 'abandoned' state. Sorry to hear that, you must be well gutted the both of you. Good luck with finding it.
jay Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 gutted mate, sorry to hear that, will keep an eye out.
mk2 stu Posted September 20, 2006 Report Posted September 20, 2006 Thieves are scum, I'm sick of hearing how they aint got jobs and they have to steal to live and get light, if any sentences!!! We all get a start in life and get oppurtunities to work, why steal someone elses treasured car!!? It really pisses me off! I'll ask around see what i can find, most mk2 shells end up in ireland now tho, rallying and such. Good luck finding it
