If I throw some straw on this mint definitely restored Escort, open the boot a bit and the bonnet, nobody be will none the wiser. Criminal masterminds at work.

Is anyone on Scoobynet ? If someone is, can they please reply to this thread ! http://bbs.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-general-1/89993...

If no-one replies, I'll do so myself, stolen from roughly the same area!

Great spot!

Does sound like a huge coincidence given the circumstances. Thread bookmarked.

Is it possible to arrange for a member of the local constabulary to go and view it? Surely the best option as it could be removed from its barn as soon as they get wind of it.

I was just thinking looking at the pics it looks similar to one I saw at the last Rally show at Chatsworth. Seems like it may be the same car....

Is it worth linking this thread to SP&L? plenty of serving coppers on there (among the professional arguers), and there's always a chance that one might even know of the case.

Indeed, give him a heads up, that's genius...

It was sarcasm, I don't even have an eBay account.

Marks & Sparks apparently.

The seller's name does seem like a woman's.

Look through the eBay feedback:

> Sold a citroen diesel

> sold porsche boxter calipers

> Bought wheel hub for Evo4

> bought 2x massive spot lights identical to escorts wearing

we see a pattern?

Why!?

[Jimmy No Hands]

I was joking, PH. Relax!

[kieranjholland]

Members of her Maj's should be all over this - lets get this over to to the BiB section...

Is it possible to report this to Ebay as a suspect sale, linking to the Scoobie forum thread - for anyone who has an Ebay aco - as I know Ebay are all over these at the moment due to the bad press it gives them?

[VR6 Turbo]
