Someone has STOLEN my project vi. A fantastic work of art that the rover forum guys loved updated to mgzr spec and just to do the brakes this week. Had no interior fitted and no battery or steering wheel

was under lock and undrivable in my other garage

Around 3000 hours repairing and rebuilding. Tis is not a monetory loss its personal!

Car was stored and sorned and due a respray next week.

Went to my garage today (                                  ) blank space.

OMG!! Thiving buggers!!

Sorry to hear that m8.

Hope they catch the little bar-stards

Someone you know I can bet. Someone has been watching your garage, so look nearby.

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  

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.

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

gutted i dont know what to say mate

[Big Rod]

Markie!

Sad to hear that bud'!  

Post a pic up mate, I'll keep an eye out. I'm quite mobile.

Rod.

[Markie]

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.

Bad luck that.

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.

Whats the Rover VI the equivalent to is it the Rover 200?

[Markie]

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.

[Markie]

....although not a violent preson i do have someone pursuing a few local leads and haunts...needless to say if they find it      

[RossPhim]

Mark,
My heart goes out to you mate!
It's been a couple of awful weeks for you.
You never know, maybe the police can perform a miracle.
Ross

[Big Rod]

Mark,

If the wheels etc are unique, please post up a pic and I/we/ll keep our eyes peeled.

Hope you get the spineless Łuckwitts!!!

[Markie]

I will post up pics - problem is i had to drag my but to work after that incident and cant access my pictures.

And tomorrow i have the bloody dental hospital!

Jeez someone is gonna get it in the neck
