Stolen Brown Triumph 2500, Wolverhampton

[philpheasant]

Hi, hope some one on the forum can help.

Stolen on the morning of tuesday 14th June from Penn Road in Wolverhampton, my father-in-laws beloved brown Triumph 2.5.

The reg is JLM 125N and it's a 1975 model. Inside were various parts from his Vittesse that is being restored, such as bumpers and other trim pieces. Which now means he cannot finish the restoration.

This follows the theft of two straight six engines and matching auto boxes along with a rear axle last year.

Any info or sightings gratefully received, common train of thought is it's been stolen to banger race

Thanks in advance if you can help

check all the local metal yards in your area,phone up, leave your number, let them know to look out for the car! its much much more likely some traveller so and so will have picked it up (easy 2 break in2, easy 2 start or haul on2 a van)


scrap is through the roof in some areas, bolton has had a spate of this recently, with it making it into the local rag on more than one occasion, one of them being brazen enuff to weigh in a 52plate rav 4!

I think I remember seeing this driving about the Wolverhampton area a few years ago and seeing it parked on the driveway. Nice looking motor. Best of luck getting it back, i'll keep my ear to the ground..

sorry to hear this, far too much of it going on, i hope it hasnt been stolen for racing, but theres a classic car meeting at Northampton track (Brafield) today i think, that something like this could be used at. don't think many cars are booked in so may be easy to spot. hope this wasnt the plan and that the car is found safe. thieving scum

Think you will find that triumphs are not allowed to race there today as this meeting is for cars that cannot be raced at other tracks

its any pre 1975 with engine size between 1700 and 2700cc, i read that there are 2 triumphs at the meeting - hopefully neither of them are this stolen one though
