Hi,

My Ford Anglia has been stolen from a rented council garage in Wokingham, Berkshire and I am desperate to get it back. It is a 1966 Purbeck grey with white roof and red interior Anglia Deluxe - reg OJH 480D, chassis no. BB22FY20641, approx mileage 37,000.
Please keep a good lookout. I have had this car for over 25 years so it means a lot to me.
If you hear or see anything then please call me on 07905 219051 or PM me if you prefer or, if you would rather remain anonymous, you can speak to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Thanks everyone,

Sandra

I assume with a car like that you'll be a member of an owners' club, hopefully with a relatively small pool of cars and dedicated enthusiasts, it'll turn up. Good luck!

Jeez, 25 years of ownership and such low mileage... I'm sure it will turn up.

You have to wonder who knew it was there... as in, someone "in" the circle.

That's rotten luck mate, sorry to hear your news. My very first car was a Ford Anglia, and i loved it.
I'll keep my eyes peeled over here in Crowthorne.

Sad, but I too would suspect someone in the know.

Old fords getting half inched all over the shop.

That's a recession for you. The scrotes go for anything that ain't nailed down.

Sorry to hear OP, I hope they realise quickly how unsaleable such a unique vehicle is and drop it like a hot cake.

I do hope you get it back in one piece soon. smile

Very sad frown And as heart-breaking as it is, keep an eye on e-bay and owners clubs for parts which could be yours frown

That's dreadful. It's bad enough when a car gets stolen when the owner just sees it as a 'white good', but something you've owned and cherished for 25 years...

I hope you get it back soon and the people that took it receive injuries.

Thats awful news frown

As above, keep a look out for parts on owners clubs and ebay, but I would imagine anyone intelligent enough to drive a car would realise that such a unique car will not be easy to sell on. With any luck it will turn up soon smile

Sadly, no news. I was hoping someone might have the telephone number for the 'people in the know' but I haven't heard anything.

I would like to park my job to one side and scour the country for as long as it takes but I don't think I will find it that way.

Still hoping whoever has it will just drop it like a hot potato.

It could be. I am hoping someone mixing in those circles will have a heart/conscience and think before letting it go down that route. Its all original .. breaks my heart.
