dalmarshall Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 Is this the car that's been for sale for months, first saying it was an ex police car, then some saying it was a 4 door converted to 2 with rear quarters, been for sale 3 times in 6 months in different parts of the country.............................apparently of course. The poor chap must have only owned for a couple of weeks before some bastard took it. I hope it comes back quickly
escortmad79 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Posted March 20, 2015 Yep, been on eBay. Not been taxed since 1985 according to DVLA so the plot thickens!
mk1del Posted March 20, 2015 Report Posted March 20, 2015 Need to be careful guys when advertising cars or posting pictures or locations of cars ,seems to be increase in thefts lately of old fords ,obviously prices of cars and parts have risen, thieving scumbags are picking up on this ,so need to be more vigilant about security and information of our cars when posting 1
rallycar74 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 Looks a cracker that hope It gets found
Haywood Posted March 21, 2015 Report Posted March 21, 2015 Hi guys, this is my car. There's now a £6000 reward on the return of the car or information that directly leads to its return. It was last seen on Police cameras in Tinsley at 7PM last night. As we all know, it'll most likely be taken apart. I guess what's a good thing is that the shell is one of the best you can get. They can do what they like with it and change the colour but it'll always be noticeable. Please keep an eye out and let me know if you see or hear anything.
escortmad79 Posted March 22, 2015 Author Report Posted March 22, 2015 Reports of it being seen driven recklessly in Bradfield at 8pm last night
dalmarshall Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 Sounds like some opportunist idiots rather than a 'professional' job then. Hopefully it'll come back without too much damage!
mk1del Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Probably even worse more likely to get wrecked,
mk2 mike Posted March 23, 2015 Report Posted March 23, 2015 Probably even worse more likely to get wrecked, Or burned out.

mk1del Posted April 9, 2015 Report Posted April 9, 2015 More updates about this story on rally sport escort website by the owner of this car , more details about its theft and recovery ,and circumstances about insurance etc., and apparently when it was on eBay at cheap money it was a copy scam same has what's been happening lately
mk2 mike Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 This makes for Interesting reading...I hate to say It but the whole bosh looks dodgy to me? http://www.turbosport.co.uk/showthread.php?t=750934 Agreed. Reading that (if it's true) it just ain't right. Looks like a big scam from the start even if the car actually exists, looks like it was never stolen in the first place let alone recovered! 2
