There is also speculation that the same gang stole another MKI Escort on the same night.

Re: Just starting out

Very open minded. Early research has come up with:
Triumph Spitfire
Volvo 1800
Jaguar XJS V12
Porsche 911SC

Willing to go up to £15,000 for the right car !

Re: Triplex Safety Glass, update 10-4-12

Well done for rescuing these ...

Re: Escort buyers guide HAHAHAHA

I don't know what makes them think that estates are worth more than four door cars, very strange that, estates are worth the least. It was good to see a buyers guide for the MKII Escort but I wish that had not used a Mexico for the feature car, it would have been much better to have used a 4 door L ...
