On behalf of a fellow Cosworth owner.



Can everyone please keep their eye out for this, it was taken from a unit in Leek, Staffordshire (just outside Macclesfield) at some time between 8pm and 10am this morning. Due to the complicated start-up process, it is likely to have been taken on a trailer / low-loader.

Obviously as you can see from the pics it is a highly modified track prepped car and as such it has many unique parts on the car, so if anyone gets offered anything, then please contact Richard Hynes on 07780 607736.

It's currently missing the rear bumper and the front wings are in primer!

Please spread the word and lets see if we can get the car back!

THERE IS A £5,000 REWARD LEADING TO THE SAFE RECOVERY!

The search is still ongoing frown

Owner is understandably highly distraught as this 800hp car has in excess off £100k tied up in it with a lot of the GrpA parts being virtually impossible to source now the car is pretty much irreplaceable frown

Hopefully it won't be leaving the country as border control were notified early on.

Car features some very unique and distinctive non standard parts underneath aswell that should they come on the market will hopefully ring alarm bells due to their rarity.








Thanks for looking smile

Tbh, i find that very ugly, but cant comprehend how much time/effort/money must have been put into it.

You know it's a proper job when it's all been done underneath too.

Hope it gets found. I'll be keeping an eye out in North West Lancs, unlikely to turn up there if it hasnt already been broken up, but you never know. smile
