Gutted for you too Amar
Let me know if I can help in any way
Its gotta be the stupidest theft ever taking a car that recognisable in a special edition colour and it has to be trailered everywhere as its got engine issues.
Keep your eyes peeled guys . . . . .

Oh mate. What the f**k can you say to that? All I can add is move fast, like Mike said video footage and police should be able to check road traffic cams maybe find what direction it’s heading in once you can see what they took it with (trailer or flatbed)

Worry is Amar they never going to sell it complete.

Amar,

Really sorry to hear about that I'm just confused about it! Why, I mean 3 things its a rare colour, its a big car, it does not drive. Do they know what they have got themselves into?

They will stick out like a sore thumb buddy, i'm sure the authorities are on the case hunting them down as I type!

Best of luck mate and hopefully they don't damage the car in the process.

I'm gobsmacked.....what a bizarre theft.

Unless they intend to (heaven forbid) part it out...keep your eyes peeled guys. We need it recovered before they do anything stupid.

Feel for you mate.

Got a funny feeling it'll be off to a container destined for the Eastern Bloc

Hope they get hold of it for you mate...

Was it still insured??
