Looks like a R34 GTR was stolen from near Edinburgh and then spotted in England, i'm pretty sure someone will spot this.


"A NATIONWIDE hunt is on for a rare car which was stolen during a raid on a house in Livingston on Wednesday.

The purple Nissan Skyline was taken along with watches, jewellery and cash worth more than £150,000 during the heist at around 10am.

The rare car – registration N40 SKY – is worth £47,000 and is one of only around 20 in the UK.

Police believe the car was immediately driven south and are investigating reports of it being seen in North West England on the M6 motorway in the early afternoon.

Detective Constable Brian Thompson, who is leading the inquiry, said: “This was a high-value housebreaking where a considerable amount of cash and property was stolen, and it is essential we recover this.

“I am appealling for anyone who has seen this car today, or who has any other information about this theft, to call Police on 101, or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”

The owner of this car has been a friend of my son since schol days, and is as decent a bloke as you could find. Buying this car was a dream for him, and he has put up a massive reward for information that gets it back. keep your eyes peeled!

Not being a Skyline nut, but having played Gran Turismo I'd guess it's a special-spec one with the rare midnight purple paint.

Just heard that it has apparently been found in Surrey. Hope it's still intact!

Fingers crossed.

It's a lovely car, and I live just to the east of Livingston... how come I've never seen it about? frown

Was gonna say, something that rare should stick out like anything.
