Certainly not complaining, good that so many folk were aware of the theft & my group. DMC (& everyone else), if you're on Facebook join my group, I have arranged discount offers with a number of companies to help secure group members cars.

Glad it was recovered, was shared to my group by 8 different people today https://www.facebook.com/groups/stolenoldskoolfords

Anyone know the full spec of this Cortina as it was stolen yesterday & I'm trying to find the spec. It's running an XE, that's all I know!

It was in storage near Edinburgh but was destroyed by arson late last year. The owner is trying to punt the remains on eBay just now! http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/112336185009?rmvSB=true&ul_ref=https%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F1%2F710-53481-19255-0%2F1%3Fff3%3D4%26toolid%3D11800%26pub%3D5574873318%26campid%3D5337369893%26mpre%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2F112336185009%253FssPageName%253DSTRK%3AMESINDXX%3AIT%2526_trksid%253Dp3984.m1436.l2648%26srcrot%3D710-53481-19255-0%26rvr_id%3D1184448438004&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2648&_mwBanner=1&ul_noapp=true

Any updates on this?

I've pointed this thread in the direction of Terry who owns AAR4X

Saph Cosworth 4WD & Series 2 RS Turbo were both nicked from Ashton-Under-Lyne between 18th & 20th. Series 2 was in an HGV repair shop off the road & the thieves smashed through the shutter & a wall to get at it! :thumbdown:

A lot of folk slate Mike but he's done me a great service on Twitter by sharing any stolen classic Fords to his followers which gets them in the public domain a lot more than if he didn't

Mk5s which have been stolen & shared on my group which are on my database are: Bronze 2.0GL Automatic reg TGY762X stolen in Lewisham 29/05/09 Highland Green reg HNB938V stolen in Bolton 16/09/10 Green Carousel reg OHL401X stolen in Halstead, Essex 01/13 Crystal Green 2.0 Ghia Automatic reg XRF847X stolen in Leicester 16/10/13 Red Cortina Crusader reg BDG986Y stolen from the owner whilst on holiday in Weymouth 09/09/15 Red Cortina Crusader reg XPK871Y stolen in Chatham 02/01/16 Champagne Gold 2.3 Ghia reg AAR4X stolen in Caterham between Feb & June 16 Believe there was a Mk5 stolen from an elderly gent in Enfield last year too but no details were posted up about it Will have been more than that I imagine but these are the ones I'm aware of

Gold Mk5 Cortina Ghia AAR4X, Caterham, Surrey Between Feb & June 2016 Champagne Gold Mk5 Cortina 2.3 Ghia reg AAR4X was stolen from a garage in Caterham, Surrey at some point between February & June. The car was there when he’d checked on it in February, when he went back in June it had gone. The car is champagne gold & has a wind deflector fitted to the sunroof. The car wasn’t on wheels when it was stolen so would have been either trailered away or taken using a lorry. The car was an automatic & was on SORN when it was stolen.

Keep the Cortina & get finance for a modern car.

Were these stolen earlier in the month?

No idea in all honesty, just received a message from the person who reported it initially on Facebook, who's good friends with the owner which stated that he'd received a phone call saying the car would be returned. Bit of a bizarre one? I've messaged him to see if the car has actually been returned & whether anyone has been arrested or beaten to a pulp!

This one has now been RECOVERED, returned to it's owner completely unscathed.
