Sorry but my Face isn't Booked and I have no idea where in UK this car was stolen from. If it's near me I'll keep an eye/ear open though.

A Sadev coming up second hand should stand out somewhat.

Absolutely gutted for you though.

Anyone got any links to share the missing parts side of things with the Northern Irish rally lads? Quite a few of the Ford comparable bits might have a good market over there...

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and sympathy.

Composing the list below has been painful. A lot of the parts on my car were either custom, unique or scarce so I've no doubt that unless they burn or bury the thing some of them will turn up sooner or later. Keep 'em peeled!

It might be worth letting the UK sadev importer in Harlow know just in case it comes back to them for inspection.  These boxes are meant to have annual inspections.

Just to add the low back Tillett W1i came from me so will have a Nationwide sticker and order number on it bottom right. 

Fingers crossed for you.

Thanks David, good idea, I know SWR well so I'll have a word with them at the Autosport show.

Heartbreaking.

The development time in blood sweat and tears on that is almost impossible to put a price on.

Thread resurrection.....................with good news.

 

After 5 years and against all the odds, it's back home!

 

Got to thank pete g again for talking me into posting a lost/stolen ad on a couple of sites. One of which has sat there all this time and finally paid dividends!

That’s great news.

 

i assume no luck catching the scotes who stole it and it’s been sold on to someone unsuspecting since it went missing?

Pretty much.

[Richard (OldStager)]

so glad it was found, i have no clue as to why someone would steal a one off car such as a westy, all of our cars are different and identifying a missing car should be easy, anyway its back now -  best christmas ever then eh.

Such good news and car is mostly in good condition.

[John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison]

Over the moon for you. Pete has told me. I assume you now have to pay a reward but we'll worth it given the spec
