This **** really pi$$es me off. I know it's been said many times before but who the **** do these people think they are???? We work our bollocks off to pay for our cars, not to mention the labour of love involved building them, and these degenerate scumbags think it's fine just to come along at steal it. They should bring back corporal punishment, starting with removing the hands of car theives.

Reg number would be good for starters if you have it mate as well as any unusual/easily identifiable parts or modifications.



Have posted it on Manchester Classic Ford website here but not sure if you need to join to view it.

I spotted a rs2000 identical to this car earlier today in Tilbury Essex and it was being driven pretty hard! Can you post up more info about the car and anything that can confirm it being the exact car, ie a window sticker or something stupid like a scuff mark. If i spot it again i will call the police as it is a car new to the area and likely to be the missing one.

See this on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISA...468576&afsrc=1

Also a thread on PH about it: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/t...ged+barn+find+

Could that be the car??

Heads up

Obviously dodgey, hey in the engine bay and the condition of the car. Chesterfield isn't that far from Manchester neither.

Just seen the PH thread, hope this is the one, I would say its pretty certain as there arent many Mk1 RS2000's in orange that happen to turn up in barns with no identity a year after being stolen, barn finds arent all shiny with hay scattered on them, it looks like its in a bloody nativity rather than a barn !

Hope the owner gets reunited.

sulli

I PM'd the OP - does anyone want to contact him direct if they know him in case he doesn't pick it up?

The car in the links above looks really

Looking at the pics its far too shinny/polished to be a barn find just looks like someone has parked it up and thrown a bit of straw over it

heads up to the owner to go and have a look 'possible buyer' then return with the old bill

might be wrong thou....what do you think?

How badly set up does that 'barn find' look! Mint looking car with some straw placed all over it.. No ID and can't read the chassis numbers lol

chopperman

That's very strange. It looks like straw has been deliberately put over the engine

I would say to people here NOT to contact the ebay seller in-case he gets scared away. Wait until the lad who had his car nicked goes and see if it's his or not.

RS74

thanks guys that is defo the car going to get hold of owner

Steve001

I think the owner needs to get onto this ASAP or it could be withdrawn from Ebay etc and disapear overnight.

as i said i might be wrong, but........................... i dont think i am

I see he sold a Porsche boxster for £3k! Shame I can't see the advert for it! Barn find Porsche boxster anyone?

The best thing the owner of this mk1 escort can do is bid £50k on it and go and repo it with the Feds! The police probably won't want to know and some twerp will buy it knowing exactly what it is and it'll prob disappear for good then.

I'd imagine the ebayer will get wind soon and pull the advert. Someone's bound to email him asking if he's got anymore stolen.. I mean.. barn finds!

What about Manchester Police? Surely they would be interested?
Try telling them the car is speeding in the barn..........

RS74

police informed

Police won't rush....

Email the guy asking for a viewing ASAP !!!!
Turn up, do your checks then call the police while your with the car.

to be honest i would be down there with some mates and ring police after the guy fell over a bit
