Yellow Flat front Mk2 RS2000 BMA711S was stolen from Chirnside in the Scottish Borders sometime this morning 8/12/14.
The car is set up & used for road & navigational rallying. It's fitted with a full roll cage, bucket seats with Sabelt harnesses & has a trip meter fitted. The corner of the driver’s seat has some light damage & has been blown in using a rattle can.
The car had a 2.0 Pinto fitted, rear end was standard. Suspension wise it was possibly fitted with a set of Gaz gold adjustable legs (Info has come from a friend of the owner). The car also has a strut brace, one of the type welded to the inner wings as opposed to the bolt on type.
The car has a towing eye on the front spoiler so will have extra holes on the passenger side. It also has spotlight brackets.
One thing that will make the car stand out is the fact it has 2 fuel tanks in the back, either side so has mounting points on both sides to accommodate. The tunnel has also been cut where a hydraulic handbrake was fitted previously and a plate was bolted over the top rather than welded up.
The thieves broke into the owners garage & moved 3 cars to get the Escort out!
The was possibly a sighting of this vehicle heading south on the M74 around Beattock- Lockerbie around midday this afternoon (Monday 8th December 2014)
Any info or any sightings of this car please call Archie Simmonds on 01890 818425

Dreadful.
I wonder if it is going to get to the stage that the amount of old Fords being nicked will have an effect on sales, with people thinking that owning one is just too much trouble - much like owning a Sierra Cosworth was back in the day?

I know what you mean, especially escorts. Although they will always be popular and I don't think it will have an effect on sales, it does put you off using them regularly or leaving them parked on the street incase someone puts a key down the side. I think I'm going to sell my mk2 and buy an old 4 door cortina or mercedes or something |

I'm sure they'll get a £50 fine and told to be good boys for a few months.

I heard on the local grapevine last week that whomever took it filled it up with petrol shortly after taking it, and paid with their card...
Criminal geniuses, eh..?

It was a lot worse than initially reported, was sent this earlier on: Archie's Escort was recovered, but as a stripped shell. Wings, doors, bonnet, bootlid, cage, seats, belts, dash, engine, gearbox, front suspension and cross member all gone. If anyone has innocently bought any items like these recently and believe they may have been from the car please get in touch so information can be passed to the authorities. It's insult to injury that the car was recovered in this state after it had been stolen. The Engine - 2.1 Pinto with Dellorto Carb The Cage - Safety Devices Bolt In Front Suspension - Gaz Front Cross Member - World Cup The Gearbox - Sierra with gear kit      |

i doubt that was nicked to sell the bits on. someone wanted those bits. in my experience it will be someone very close to home. the owner may have met them at some point.
i know how gutting it is to have a car stripped.

I'm not sure I'd want it back if it were presented to me like that. W*nkers.
