In fairness to the Swedish police there wasn't much back then[and possibly still not]that would live with a LC/LO driven by someone determined not to be caught.
Anyone with a good memory? Back in the late 80's ( I think) there was a series of ram raids on shops in the Midlands. Usually a stolen transit or similar and then the raiders made good their escape in "
an expertly driven" Lotus Carlton . Even the police pursuit helicopter couldn't keep up with it. Anyway this went on for some months before the police found the sad looking LC in a local canal. The owner was quickly traced and I remember seeing the car and owner on a photograph outside his house. I often wondered if it was a race or rally car driver funding their hobby. I also now wonder if that car has been restored and the current owner knows none of its previous escapades.
