Tel: 0768 877717 (UK)
+ 44 7768 877717 (Europe)

this car was stolen from the Parking Bay in St Pancras Way, Camden, London, UK. It was also in Wanstead, where it was repaired at D.C. Dodds, and also Hackney. It could be anywhere in the UK or Europe by now.

This car belonged to my mother when I was a child and has been in our family for nearly 30 years, if you have any information, please contact me.

Alternatively, if you have any ideas for me, i.e. breakers yards, Stag dealers, car detectives, any suggestion will be appreciated, as I need all your help to find this car. The registration plate has most likely been changed, so if you know of recent White Stags - please let me know, or any recent parts to come onto the Stag scene and I will check them out further.

Thank you very much and there is a reward of £2,000 leading to the safe recovery of my car.

Monday afternoon, July 7th somebody stole our bright yellow Austin Healey 3000 BN7. It was stolen from the back yard of our house in Midtown/Virginia Highlands Atlanta, Georgia. The car was restored in a very nice condition. Some unusual things about the Austin :

* Bright yellow paint, 2 Small Brooklyn windshield instead of the main, BJ 8 Carburetors, 3 chrome wheels (48 spokes) the painted spoke spare wheel (72 spokes) was mounted at the time of theft, tan/brown leather interior with black carpet, many new components like brake/gas tank /carpet /canvas tonneau cover, The base paint was white and repainted in a bright yellow, Austin bug eye over rider rear bumpers, sport exhaust with side outlet, dashboard of polished aluminum

We are so shocked and sad that the car was stolen after 2 years of being a reliable travel companion. We are hoping that this e-mail can be forwarded to as many car enthusiasts as possible.

For a safe return of "Austin" a $2500 reward will be paid. No questions asked - we just want it back!!

Someone had my MKIII Spit away this evening (Wed 13th) The car was parked in a lay-by opposite my house in Radley near Oxford. I heard her start up but by the time I'd got to the window I saw it disappearing into the distance.
The car is damson in colour and can be identified by its badly welded nearside sill and sellotaped rear lights. Pics are on my website

Tonight I set with a heavy heart. I lost my Little Blue friend saturday night. It was a blue 1978 Triumph Spitfire 1500, We've known each other for 21 years. You don't know the gut wrenching feeling of seeing the garage door open and your Little Blue friend missing. This is something you always think happens to someone else. It really doesn't sink in until it happens to you. My Litttle Blue Spitfire, all orginal (60K) and fiberglass hardtop were stolen on Sept 15, 2001 in Chadron, NE. It had a Nebraska personal license plate with the word TRIUMPH on it. I'm still hoping to get it back. I am asking (pleading) with all of you out there in Triumph World to please help Litle Blue come home. Thanks. Sincerely, Jim
