Just read on our local Teletext pages that a LHD MGB Roadster has been taken from a locked private garage in Dulcote near Wells, Somerset.
The car was awaiting restoration and was in a unroadworthy condition. It would have to have been transported.
The reg number is KBW 273S.
I've no idea about colour but will post any more details as and when I get them.
Methinks these thefts are getting out of hand.

odd thing to steal really esp if its unroadworthy don't you think.
With all these cars going missing I have decided to chain mine to the garage floor

Over the past 3 years, I've had 2 Mk2 Cooper S's, 3 Bond Equipe 2ltrs' a Fiat 600, Fiat 127 Palio, Mk1 Scirocco, a 1971 Avenger GT with 25k on the clock, a 1275GT and a Kadett C Coupe go missing.
I'm scared to have anything decent now.

Well, Smeatharpe is pretty close. And we get a lot of scrap dealers/travellers here too.

Have you never had any returned or been able to find there whereabouts |

They were in what was supposed to be secure storage.
None were insured as all were off the road.
I've heard rumours where the odd one is but i wouldn't want them back now they've been violated and as anything, it's proving things.
The only ones I had photo's of were one of the Bond's, the 1275 GT and the back end of the Scirocco.
think i'm going to stick with the Granny Scorpio i've got now, the 1300 Countryman and keep the Mini well locked away.
It leaves a very bad taste in your mouth.

sure does. That might be enough to set me off on a Hungerford-style random shooting spree or more probably a Michael Douglas 'falling down'-esque had-enough-of-it shop-smashing-up frenzy.

I'm scared to have anything decent now. It looks as if you were being targeted. Did they all get stolen from storage in one go? If not, did you do anything to secure the others after the first one went missing? I'm just over 30 miles from you, so I'll keep an eye open, just in case I see anything. Maybe you could post some more details of the missing cars (colours etc). Mike |
