A great loss, the car was probably a promising footballer etc etc.

As for the thief, if such a place existed I'd hope he'd burn in hell.

thats a very sad looking collection of vehicles outside the collectors garage as well!

Gotta love the DM - apparently an SL230 is a "high powered vintage sports car". A whole 150hp of high-poweredness and I'm not sure 1964 counts as "vintage".

Polish car thief ? I'd have thought he would have made a clean getaway, varnished from the scene of the crime as it were.

Shame about the car, good riddance to the scum

[Prawnboy]

such a daily mail headline, his nationality had bugger all to do with it. Should have said car thief in poland.

[isetta]

how do they know hs was polish at all if they can't identify him

[Jasandjules]

What a tragedy. That was a lovely car.

[jagracer]

At least the car can be repaired so that's two good outcomes

[Butter Face]

Must have had been pretty hard to kill him!!

On another note, is that a smashed up Viper in the mail pic?

I love a good news story. Shame about the SL but at least it wasn't an R129.

It happened in Poland

[Balmoral]

Seemingly no one in media knows what Vintage means either. Every time there's a story like this, the cars are described as Vintage

[carinaman]

That probably won't T-Cut out.

'He was dead. I guess God was watching and decided to punish him.'

[sleep envy]

A 190 is worth less than an SL?
