From the back of a race truck last night between the hours of 11pm and 7am. (we only put the thing in there last night to go to Rockingham this morning.

Pretty unique, also a range of race VX220 parts also stolen including a 4 branch manifold. If anyone sees or hears of anything (like ebay etc) can they please contact me directly.

Bad Luck Thorney. What part of the country did it initially get stolen from?

Milton Keynes.

Its the only racing VX220 in existance (other than the others that we have) so should be easy to spot. So many of the parts on it are unique so again should be easy to spot but to say I'm depressed right now is an understatement.

Bad news, Thorney. I've posted this in the Northamptonshire forum in case any locals who don't frequent the Motorsport forum see or hear anything.

HTH, as they say.

Thorney I suggest you send on to Autosport, Motorsport News, Crash.net and Dailysportscar etc.

The more than no about it in the Motorsport community the better. Can I also suggest you offer some kind of reward for information, Caterham did this with their stolen trailer and the crooks were caught (also a very distinctive item).

i hope you get the car back. maybe anyone going to a race meeting this weekend or in the near future could take a print out of the car and the details and stick it up somewhere prominent!?

Is it the ex-Blower British GT Cup car? Lovely car - and unique.
