scooby princess Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wiltshire/7332051.stm Two rally cars described by police as "valuable and unique" have been stolen from a barn near Salisbury. The vehicles - one of which is thought to be the only one of its kind - were removed from the structure in Old Malthouse Lane, Ford, on 1 April. The prototype is a bright yellow Ford Escort Mk3 with the number 140 painted on the side in black. The other is a black Escort MK2 with a horizontal white stripe under the windows. Both are marked with stickers. The offenders are believed to have gained access via a track which leads from the A338 at Hurdcott. They moved a cultivator out of the way before forcing entry to the barn. Pc Mark Welch said: "The owner of these cars has spent years working on them. "He is a rally enthusiast and doing-up the cars has been a real labour of love. They are worth thousands of pounds each, but are irreplaceable to the owner." Link to comment

jd Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 both worth a fortune and parts will not be esay to sell on to the rally fraternity. the yellow one is a gartrac G 3 at quick glance, there are a few around (one in guernsey) but are quiet rare. Prob worth in the region of £30-£40k the black mk2 looks to be a full group 4 spec, good ones can change hands at similar costs to the G3 but can be higher. hope these get found. Link to comment

Terry Butcher Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 You know what? I reckon we all ought to keep ours eyes peeled for when these scum end up in court and arrive mob handed to let them know what we feel. That way the slap on the wrist they get from the magistrate will suddenly feel a whole lot worse when they realise that there are thousands of us watching them, seeing ther faces, hearng their addresses. We could then all meet up outside and do a good old drumming out of town. No violence. No assault (only to the ear drums). Just a good old "we know who you are" attitude. Keep your eyes peeled folks and maybe we can all attend one of these little hearings. Link to comment
