Hi Folks, These 2 cars are meant to be safely in storage in Irchester NN29 close to Wellingborough in Northants. 1. White Ford Escort Cabriolet in extremely good condition. Owned from new and was an all white 150 edition originally. Now has half leather recaro interior and standard RS Turbo alloys in silver. 90 spec front. 2. White Talbot Sunbeam GL. Standard looking on outside except Alleycat wheels. The ‘proprietor’ says he no longer has them. If anyone sees them, please let me know here or by PM Chris

Did he say why he no longer has them or how long they've not been there?

They could have gone a month ago or only just a day ago.
I’ve heard this has happened to others that had their cars there too, so watch out where you store your cars.

Have a look on DVLA Enquiries & see when the last V5's were issued.

Good idea as they were previously registered to old addresses. I updated them both on 30th May to make sure I get any notification of change of ownership requests.

I think I would be finding proof that you didn't owe him any rent and then contact the police.

I think I’ve worked out the crack here now. The key thing here is to be very careful where you store your cars and who with. Get a decent clear contract with all terms and conditions clearly set out

So I guess there was some outstanding rent/charges that the cars were sold to cover?

The cars were found in the storage unit 2doors down. Police came to take them. Storage man made up a story about telling he increased the storage costs in 2019 so wants nearly £4000 to release them. So despite illegally ‘selling’ them on eBay, as soon as the police think there is a money dispute they walked away and said it’s a civil matter. Advised me to speak to a solicitor and suggested if the vehicles so precious they why don’t I just pay up

Do you have them back then?

No, the police would not take them in the end and left me to sort it out.

For the Escort a new V5 was issued 30/05/2022

Hi Folks,
After a lot of work, I can happily say I now have both cars back. It's been a very stressful time and the whole thing has put me off wanting to own an older car.
Once I get them running and cleaned up I'll probably change my mind.
Thanks to everyone for their help and advice. Chris

thats excellent news indeed! I am assuming the police got involved in the end. can't imagine just how stressful this whole ordeal must have been for you.
