Facebook seems to have been successful in the past at spreading the word about stolen race cars, so fingers crossed for Iain. Meanwhile, I’ve edited the pic....

I've spread it as wide as I can already. Three business accounts and my personal one.

Also spread across facebook to marshals, lets hope Iain gets the car back.
Maybe if a marshal spots the car they will black flag it and hope it comes in !!!!!!!!!!! |

Word is spread, Twitter and FB. Did you read this on FB:
" Martin Brown Possible sighting on the back of a recovery truck on the A217 going south past Burgh heath." Was around two hours ago. |

Hopefully as it's so distinctive & such a well known car it will soon be tracked down. Let's hope it is & the scumbags who nicked it are caught (or even worse!)

Thanks for posting this up Ben, I have not had the best of weeks and this has just about finished me off. Me and martin know loads of people in the motor trade so I am hopeful we can get her back. Just been on the phone again to police to tell them about the sighting.This car has so much history and sentiment to me as I had great fun building her from a bare shell. Poor Mike was bombarded most days with questions.
Thanks for all you support. Never say never. |

I'm fortunate to never having been in your position (I've never had anything worth pinching) but I still think I can (sort of) understand how you feel. I'm keeping my ears & eyes open up here in Leicestershire and will be checking on here for updates. |

So sorry to hear of the theft Iain.... trust with all the people tenthers collectively know can come up with a few more sightings and that the Escort finds its way back to you. I remember how you spoke of the car at PI so I know what it means.
Hopefully the lowlife that pinched it get caught and get their just deserts. Best of luck. |

The FB sharing does work. A number of karts gave been restored to their owners in the last couple of years.
I hope we can all play a part in finding it - we can't go out in our Deer Stalker hat and magnifying glass these days, but hopefully on line Sherlocks can get the work done. Best wishes Iain, we'll find it. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |

*******s. I hope you get the car back - as someone who has suffered the same fate (with a Mk2) I feel your pain, when you've spent time building up a car from nothing it's a lot more personal. Gutted for you.

Yes, I shared it on FB and also re tweeted the above link. I sincerely hope they catch the perpetrators and return the vehicle. FWIW pre FB and Twitter I had a trailer stolen. The police found it and it was returned to my custody. I trust the same will apply to your Escort Iain.

I've posted on some facebook groups I'm on plus tweeted and retweeted as much as I can plus it's on a couple of other retro car forums I frequent. Hopefully it'll be too hot to handle.

Iain, have you informed the cross channel ferry companies and border control, this comes from a friend who knows.
