Sad to hear of such a car being nicked.
Great to hear of its safe recovery. Hope to hear of the perpetrators being caught and having their balls cut off! |

Postscript: Keith brought the Sunbeam to Donington, qualified well and ...... then discovered head gasket had blown so non started. It wasn't to be was it, but it was great to see the car in good shape and undamaged (except a bit of the interior when it was used as a van for stolen tools!) from the theft.
