Hello could you please keep an eye out for my Mk1 Cortina Estate DHU 821C in Goodwood Green with white roof and flash Lotus rims slightly lowered with period roofrack, stolen sometime on the 24th December from outside my house in Brighton, East Sussex, think it was towed or put on flatbed. any info greatly appreciated.

Merry bloody Christmas

Many thanks

Very sorry to hear this, I've posted on the 'Stolen Oldschool Fords' Facbook group for what it's worth. I hope it is recovered intact.

Glad its turned up.

Sorry to hear. but also glad you got it back.

I run a car security business and was told by someone you were going to look at better security ?

I've have been offering a deal on Old Skol Ford & Turbosports (as i go on there more then here) for a pay as you go tracking system.

More details here www.savvitrak.co.uk i been doing them for £196 inc car charge lead if interested Pm me or email me [e-mail] you then only need to buy credits as & when you need them, so no monthly charge.

I'm not trying to jump on your bad situation, i have old Fords & found this system whilst trying to protect my own cars, all of the guys have been impressed so far with them as i was when i bought mine 18mths ago, & at this price i only cover my expenses.

Have a good new year.

Just buy a cheap mobile phone and wire that in.

Can be tracked on the internet.

No police response on a DIY solution, and unless its a decent mobile with proper GPS in it the tracking isn't that accurate.

I hear lots of people saying you can just use a cheap old mobile but I never heard of one leading to a stolen car recovered that way unless anyone knows better? Loads of cars recovered on professional trackers...

My system is not insurance approved and not linked to the Police, however it will text & email you if moved outside (or inside) a set area, called gio fencing, you can also "Arm" the device so any movement detected it will alert you via text or email, it's also the size of a matchbox and has it's own built in battery which can last upto 28 days depending on use .

One of the lads had his car inpounded by the Police and they wouldnt tell him where it was being taken, he used his Iphone to track the car to where it was being held and set the arm button to make sure it wasnt messed with whilst at the garage !!!!!

Yu wouldn't do that from an old phone !!!

I can offer insurance approved systems but they come with a monthly or yearly cost, plus the cost of buying and having it pofessionally installed.

Other obvious ways is too fit a steering lock device, alarm, wheel clamp etc. or even something as simple as a hide away switch to prevent the car starting, i suggest doing this on the ignition coil feed.

Hope some of this may help someone in the future.

Frightening number of cars are being stolen on flatbeds now though, immobilizer won't help you there...

A couple of mine I'm considering trackers for now.
