BSC Tubbs 1 Posted January 30, 2010 Everyone For those who know me they will understand the nature of topic and the genuine reason for my post, for those who do not will probally understand where I am coming from and any assistance or gusidance to help me would be appreciated> During the early 90's i got wind of a genuine Dragoon Red MK 2 Lotus Cortina and as part of my collection i pursed the vehicle and got my hands onj a couple of years after, it was a 1 owner car which sat in a barn since the 80's , it spent its first 3 years after baught new in Germany at the Army Barracks, it was then back in the UK and last inherited by a family member, the vehicle was untouched by any standard`total dry with its original mileage. I found it with a special link acrodd the back axel which was receipted by 'Safety Devices' work carried out was verey unique the car was also missing its engine so i expect that it was being preped for racing. This car UCR 303H sat with a restorer from 1996 (Coln Essex) I decided to put an engine and also tidy the vehicle so i could decide what i wanted tio do with it. During December 2007 I was introduced by a BSC member to a Mr Garaham Todd aka 'luckyblack' who told me what he was doing with these cars and restoring them as had no reason not to disbeleive him given the cars he had on the site and his residance. ;luckyblack' even posted the pictures of my car which probaly hadn't seen much daylight for all these year I had also talked about my car to the LCR many years back so I expect they will probaly warrant what i am saying. This is the link that will take you to the pictures on this site which were posted Dec 3 2007 by l 'luckblack' who tells everyone its in to get work done. This car`with its plates intact (not the paperwork as i have it) was handed to 'luckyblack' who promised to finish the vehicle at soem point last year, he did not do this and i had agreed with him to deliver the car as i had already paid him for a replacement engine as I now had 2 of the. 'luckyblack' and a couple of his accomplises who's names i will not mention as have not been to drop my car off for some 6 months, the last known confirmed delivery day was today ! gues what ! no car. 'luckyblack' has been calling me with a promise but his phone numbers have myteriously disappeared and I haver been waiting all day for the delivery of my car. I am obviously not a position to make any assumtions of any kind as I am still allowing 'luckyblack' to show his due and keep his promises. Should anyone have been or are aware of wher ethis vehicle be I would not only appreciate it but also avoid any doubts of any B%^%$***T that may hav ebeen fed to me. I am hoping that someone out there is aware of the wareabouts of my car or can send a message to someone who has it. I will in the mean time be trying to locate 'luckyblack' and probaly his merry men as he mentioned that the car was with one his partners or associates. So any help that be provided to me would be appreciated in case it has been stolen or I have the rightful means or gettign it back please. PS. I can be contacted via a few members who know me well if any one wants to remain annymous in providing me and potentially the Police with any information. I am also praying 'luckyblack' logs on just in case he has lost his memory - you have not been accused yet ! but should you get this message I would very much appreciate you contacting me sooner rather than later ! Better still drop my car back ! You will appreciate after all our communications and promises this was necessary to do before we move the phase 2 in recoverign my car. Thanks for reading my post . regards BSC Tubbs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G.O 20 Posted January 30, 2010 Really sorry to hear about this - though from some of the stories I've heard, I can't say I'm all that surprised. Amoungst others, I believe Timmytimtim is still waiting to be paid for his E that LB sold on his behalf a few years ago. Hope you're able to get this sorted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
