Well as some of you know I am the new owner of car bodies convertible Jog.... well unfortunately she decided with.some help to take a trip last night with her partner in crime my transit recovery truck. Well they got into a police chase before I even knew they was in a jolly boys outing. Thanks to Jim (Little newt) and one of his colleagues it was noted as stolen as it ended up back in Essex,which was where I had duly recovered it from last week. Can not praise Jim and hos colleague enough for the prompt recovery of both vehicles just got to grit my teeth and sort out recovery and storage costs.I thank Jim and his.colleague so.much they where fantastic👍

It sickens me to see pictures like this cant even to begin to feel how you feel mate.What a waste of a fantastic looking car.I dont think even they know how much heartache they have actually caused or actually care .Hope you can rebuild it and its shell is not too distorted.Good thing about these old fords there is not too much to them compared to todays cars so if distortion isnt too bad a rebuild is possible,done it myself before.Good luck mate

Im sure this car was for sale a couple of years ago seem to recongnise the reg ,although not too sure i like it, looks like someone has dropped a camper body from a great height and it landed on a mk3 . Just my oppinion still wouldnt mind it though.Very rare pre Starcraft

Yes officially 2 K is for professionals , i spray cars for a living and it is bad for you. I dont use breathing apparatus so may not be arround for much longer but it is deffinatley reccomended. not as easy as cellouse to paint and not as forgiving .Take care when using can make some disasterous mistakes if you do not know what you are doing
