Very sad sight. A blue precat burnt out. Hopefully no one's on here. Full details on the Bristol post website. No registration number visible....

looking for the post, can't remember if i saw something about it on here or FB.

saw it on FB - was stolen on 4th June in Bristol - Reg K9 YJG. blue 4l pre-cat griff. Had a quick look at the photos on the evening post site and you can just about see the K9 on the reg.

sad times.

Sad indeed. I've always enjoyed the fact that a TVR is one of the most unlikely cars to be stolen to order to be sold on/broken for parts or used in a robbery etc.

Sadly you still will get vandals and joyriding types who will either scratch or nick (and then burn) them.

Hopefully it's not the Bristol bike thieves moving up to cars. They were posting ransom demands before burning the bikes.

This is really disturbing, I said the same thing to a friend about TVR's not being too much of a target, but unfortunately nothing is immune, and stealing bikes/cars for ransom is a trend we definitly don't want to see.
