I do hope you have some good news soon, Tony. It just begs the question, what do these people think they are going to do with it?? Obviously, the trailer they can sell, but the car??

Presumably still not recovered, sadly, but I'm now 'unsticking' this thread, now. However, if there is any good news, please let us know.

It's difficult to know where a car like that would end up. In the historic racing scene it would surely be recognised?
I've heard that there are some fairly dodgy folk in autograss racing and I suppose a simple space frame car like an FF would make a good basis for a grass tracker? |

Yes, I think that it would not get away unnoticed in mainstream historic racing, so we have to assume the worst, unfortunately. Hope we are wrong though.

Well I've had a pretty crappy day so far but I must say that it has cheered me up to know that the Titan has been recovered (hopefully in good nick).
After sixteen months it must have seemed like a lost cause. Fantastic! |

Delta, your trailer was stolen in Europe so I suspect it is over there somewhere. But no sign or my RT1.
Was the car found on a farm in Wiltshire? I hope we will be told the full story rather then this thread go quiet. Remember thoes two F2/Atlantic cars that were stolen a year or so ago. They were recovered but the story was not told on this forum. I found out what really happened by word of mouth. |

Can you relay the story here Richard? Hopefully we can all learn from these incidents and make it harder for the crooks to get another one.

I would like to but it is not my place and if I got it wrong we could be in trouble, so hopefully the person who's cars got stolen and started this thread is the one to tell us but from what I was told I can understand if he does not want to.

Surprising after this length of time, unless someone was just waiting until everyone had forgotten about it - but very welcome news, at last.
