This used to live near me in Andover Hampshire if anyone can help let me know and I will pass anything on. From Facebook. Please keep a look out for my STOLEN 85' Ford LTD Country Squire wagon. As you can see it's a pretty unique vehicle with its wood look sides and being 4 meters in length it could be hard to hide! Also beware if you've been offered a 302 (5ltr) engine + tranny, double check the history!. Thanks.  |

There can't be many Country Squires in this country, should stand out wherever it is. I hope it isn't destined for the oval  |

A few cars seem to have gone missing locally one supposedly spotted in Ringwood, sadly not the Wagon though.

How do you know it’s the same car ?? Seemingly the police have attended the venue and have taken both cars away for further investigation. Even as a former racer who defends the sport, it all seemed far too co-incidental unfortunately for 2 models of stolen cars appearing together(in the hands of 2 brothers). |

I've seen some of the pics myself. Doesn't look good at all. |

How do you know it’s the same car ?? The various FB postings are pretty compelling as above. Clearly not all banger racers/teams are lowlife who steal classics, but I’d wager money that anyone who steals Grandas, XJ’s, Farinas etc only do it to race themselves or strip and sell to people who choose not to ask the right questions. |

My mk2 granada got stolen afew years back. If that ended up o track it probably did so in a sea of granadas making it difficult to trace. If this turns out to be true about these 2 cars, I'm stunned. |

Well if they bought them legit, there will be a paper trail of some sort. However its a bit co incidental, though more proof will be needed for any conviction to stick.

How do you know it’s the same car ?? Hell of a coincidence if they're not the ones. The Ford was stolen from Andover, the Pontiac from Salisbury so close to Ringwood where they were raced today, driven by a pair of brothers from Southampton. Ford LTD's are pretty rare in this country, even more so wearing the same wheels that were on it when that one was stolen. Both still had their V8s in so a check of the VIN & engine numbers will confirm for definite. Both cars were removed by police for investigation |

Looks like they must have been taken away after the race unfortunately.  |

Absolutely heartbreaking for the owners. If my car got stolen I think id rather never know what happened to it than see these pictures. |

This is all too reminiscent of the stunning Datsun Bluebird from way back on here |

So what happened?
Did the owner have an inkling it would be there and have to watch on as it was raced and phone the police?
I have searched for more info but just ancient forums and articles come up from years back.
