Red Mk2 Escort rally car registration number KBN409P was stolen from a yard off the A6006 Paddy’s Lane close to Old Dalby in Leicestershire at 5:20pm on Sunday 9th February. The car, owned by Mike Pole of Woodhouse had not been used in competition for over 5 years & was in the middle of being rebuilt.
The car is fitted with a Cosworth engine & forest arches. The car was full rally spec.
The car, which was hidden under a tarpaulin was removed by a white Daihatsu 4x4 & trailer.
The yard is located close to the A46 so there is a strong possibility the thieves may have travelled along that road if anyone remembers seeing a white Daihatsu 4x4 towing a trailer with either the Escort on either exposed or covered by the tarp.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Pc 3015 Ian Brentnall on 101
