Colins aka Fastarget's VXR8 has just been stolen, please keep an eye out for it.

Hopefully it is found safe and sound.

These are rare cars and were never sold in Europe so shouldn't be too hard to spot

He is genuinely one of the nice guys and has done so much for the Community as a whole.
Please let's try and get Social media working for good for a change and see if we can this car back.
The fkers broke into his house as well as stealing his car.
Please share the post on the FB page

Such a shame his car has been stolen.
I thought he'd sold it as it's been a couple of years since his last post on here.

Sorry to hear. I will do what I can to mention in the trade about awareness and look out although I don't know trade "breakers world" that well

Ralph punched it on V8UK, someone asked when, so I assumed around 2am when you posted G as you said 'just'

Would be fantastic to find the car, fingers crossed

EDIT

I've also checked our fairly limited database of ANPR cameras that we have access to with no luck. I'll check that again a few times just in case, but it's more than a bit of a long shot

I think colin came home at 11:30pm and it was gone. It took time to sort out with the police and i spotted it on facebook at 2am when i started to spread the word.

Hopefully it is found safe and sound

Not on vxr forum, has someone put it on there?

[escortcab]

I take it they took the keys from the house to take it and not smash and hotwire. Cos you don't hear of many of these getting knicked at all.

The parts off this car would be easy to spot on the used market as I dont think one of that colour has been parted for spares but I may be wrong .

Big booted & engined cars are ram raid favourites unless its gone for the engine & box , its obviously been taken with keys or towed away

Same happened with my Lotus Carlton

Shared on my Facebook. A few friends in various places throughout the UK but mainly in South of Scotland. Lets hope it is found quickly and damage free.

Such an awful feeling having your personal things stolen or messed with.

[vxr2010]

Some times they are parked in the area to see if the cars have a tracker , and likely plates changed already , is it worth putting on site last few number of the vin in case any one sees one , plus worth chasing local plod and see if it has set any of there ANPR off ?

[snowwolf]

I do hope it does get found ok, , was it driven off or low loaded ?

[wav8]

Hope it is found quickly with no damage so sorry to hear this

[jameshsv]

fingers crossed for a safe return

[preciousmetal]

Have they got the car docs or not ? ie V5 / MOT
