Hope it's found,,but that tilbury docks possible siting doesn't sound good,,,annoys the hell out of me that someone's pride and joy can be shipped out via container very quickly, why is this allowed to happen so easily without proper checks??

Every containers contents should be checked, ridiculous that so many stolen vehicles are allowed to move so freely

Hi, I think the docks are HMRC domain and they are more concerned with what's coming in not going out. I think they only get involved at the request of the police.

I think they have a almost impossible job considering they deal with over 500,000 containers a year .

Undoubtedly they have a hard job,but it's such a shame that so many cars disappear that way,,I was warned by a good friend in the car transport trade to be very careful with our old mercs due to a firm of people working locally shipping out our type of car to other countries where they are being sold for parts,any clean mercs locally were apparently being targeted ,I know my mate is no scaremonger and if says it's happening it is! Unfortunately the cars are our Dailys and you can only be so careful,,,hope the pick up is recovered

I agree it is terrible and the scale of it is massive , not just cars to Africa but anywhere - bangers and high end cars to Africa , high end to eastern europe / russian states , Bulagria , Hungary .
I wouldnt be surprised if a lot of high end and exotica is stolen a la gone in 60 in 60 seconds for collectors who think what they bought is genuine .
I saw a programme on earlier this year and it showed some chap who could knock up fake V5's easy as pie .
Honestly makes me sick .
I hope it gets found and in one piece .

Those 'look' similar but the latter pictures do not have the wing mirrors, bumpers are a different colour, wheels are different and the indicators are missing from the front, just an observation....

Saw a red one being trailered Eastbound on the M4 near Membury services this morning around 10.45. Was driving in opposite direction, so no photo. Can't remember what was towing it.
