Ford Capri 2.8 GOO 640T Bristol. FOUND!

[rsmithy626]

Pretty distinctive Capri 2.8 stolen yesterday from North Bristol

[escortmad79]

What's the spec?

[rsmithy626]

2.8 engine, 2.8 front struts, LSD axle and a later 5 speed box. That's all I know sorry.

Also it went Friday 20th Feb not yesterday, my bad.

Updates - 23rd Feb
The owner had an Irish man knocking on his door saying he had his car and wanted money for it. "£200 for some mysterious accident it had been in"

24th Feb
The owner found out his car was being towed on the M5 towards Cribbs Causeway around 1pm.

So the car is still around and pretty close to where it was originally taken from too.

What a horribly peculiar situation...!!!

I hope this gets found and the g!ts that decided to take it get a right old 'talking to'...

Updates -

"Possible sighting of it in Malpas, Newport, South Wales."

"I was on the m5 yesterday folks I was in Cheltenham and Gloucester I also come across a big travers site to"

Three new possible locations; Newport, Cheltenham and Gloucester. It's likely around those parts if it was being towed on the M5.

I hope they catch the thieving scum who did this! I can't believe the guy came to his door too!!! Anyway, I've put a post up, along with the Morris Oxford and the Mini stolen this week. Hope this and those turn up safe and sound!

Thanks a lot!

Have passed this onto a Capri-mad mate who lives in Severn Beach and he will pass it round his biker mates to keep their eyes open - hope it gets returned

Should have taken a blood sample of the traveller knocking the door. He stole it!
How else will he know where the owner of a car lives?

[rsmithy626]

Car has been found by police, apparently still in decent nick too!

Any details?

[rsmithy626]

Not yet, owner has yet to see it

That's great news, does happen too often. I hope it is still in good condition.
