Glad you got it back. None of my cars have ever been as nice as that but I'd still be frigging furious if one went awol like that.
Has it gone up much in mileage in the meantime? The oil can suggests they were driving it around rather than just looking to banger/strip for spares.

What makes you think it was going to be banger raced ? I for one know these cars are no good for banger racing they are to soft soon as a car goes you all jump on the band wagon banger racers have nicked it make them secure so these so called banger racers cannot steal them.Keep them in secure buildings then you can leave the banger boys alone. I have one of the most sort after cars banger boys want (wolseley 6/110) and its one of the best in the country so i keep it well hidden in a secure building with cctv in a busy industrail estate well lit up.People leave cars on there drive ways like mk1 & 2 escorts etc cars which we know will go missing the only way is keep them in a secure building with alarms council lock ups are easy targets for what it cost have your cars tagged.Make life as hard as possible for the unwanted theft.

You should be able to arrange for a recovery firm to move it for around £1/mile. Not the cheapest option, but cheaper than a week of £20/day storage charges.

I can go up Saturday afternoon & tow it back with the Brat if that's any help buddy?? PM me if it's easier with a contact number ok! Tim.... Thanks Tim. I suspect the brakes would give up the ghost very quickly also there would be no servo without the motor running. They have not been checked so I would not want to risk damaging your motor. If it was closer and I had managed to get the engine running I would take you up on your very generous offer. Thanks, Ewan

Great news, wasn't expecting her to be found and in 'relatively' good condition considering what could have happened to her.
Nice to see a happy-ish ending this time.

Thanks, Ewan I was going to a-frame it back with the pickup as i too own one but i see Bruce got it back for you on the back of the Delica with an a-frame.....the most important thing is you now have it home safe & sound & you can get on with sorting all the problems caused by the theft of!
