I really feel for you mate. I have only had one car stolen and I was livid for about 6 months, and even angrier when the police found it - wrecked!

Sorry m8.....never had one stolen....it must be crap for you Cry

I'd go along with Ronnie....well maybe not someone you know....but they certainly knew what was in the garage....i assume they took it away on a trailer.....not something you usually take with you if just breaking into garages on the off chance.

Aug 2006 at 13:47 Sorry to hear of you bad luck mate Thieving Barstewards like everyone else so far has said must be someone who knows you or seen what you've been doing. I am guessing the Police are now involved and dusting the building if possible. Hope you get your car back

thanks for your support guys - police are involved.

Not insured but money really isnt the issue - its my creative loss.

I dont hold out much hope it will be broken by now.

I think its someone that was local and watching it - i have a few leads i have someon following up - trawling scrapyards.

In the meantime if anyone sees on ebay anythng Rover VI related please pm me.

The engine was rebuilt by me and only has 48000miles on it.

Once played a prank on somebody many years ago who had an old jag in a row of 20 lock up garages, we swapped the number and pad lock for the one next door (one of his neighbours), the look on his face was a picture.... I hope you get ti back, clearly its somebody who has seen it all being done.

yes

Its a 1996 rover 200 vi

Twin cam 16v vvc engine - the vvc part makes it special its similar to Hondas vtec ( high revving)

This car was owned by me since new - had been stored 5 years and i have been woriking to restore it sinze last year. Amoung other things it has MGZR 160 throttle bodies purpose made 17" alloys and the whole back end and front ends replaced by me so it actually looked like the 2003 model MG ZR 160.

So to be honest when the car is finished - if it gets finished it will be unique.

Needless to say it had HG replacement by me and boy was i proud of how much i had achieved myself.

My hunch is its already broken with the parts - eventually being sold on.
