Stolen mini

Post by pick up man »

Hi if any has be offered or seen a mini which was stolen from ferns Lock just outside kilcock sometime yesterday sunday 4/11/07.

This a sky blue body with a navy roof. The front was cut off for a flip front to be fitted and the engine bay was painted white. Their was a metro turbo engine just sitting on the subframe and the front brakes were 7.4 inch discs which were off a cooper s. The interior was stripped out as i was going to turn it into a road going rally car. The rear seats mount were removed.

The car has sentinental valve as it was the first car i owned and i restored it over 15 years ago which took over a year to do.

If anyone has any information my number is 0872602700.

Thanks (a very sad) peter :cry: :cry: :cry:
