Please can everyone be on the lookout for my mates F Grey mini mk 1, it is a family owned mini with a long history of shows etc.

254 LYC was its original number plate!

will do, sorry to hear of your misfortune, keep an eye out for parts of it too as it may well end up being broken.

Shocking,

Hope the low lifes responsible have some respect for a classic car if not other people.

Bump to keep it in view,

Sorry to hear about this - just for the record whereabouts was it stolen from?

[yorkshirechris]

Sorry to hear of this, it might be a good idea to post up some more details of the car including any "defining features" and special parts which people can look out for. Can a Mod pin this topic?

Damn thats terrible !!!

[BMC Paul]

Thats terrible, getting really bad all this these days, to many minis getting stolen etc... like above put more info on of details that the car has, any marks or defects etc, the car would prob get a new id and even a colour change, who no,s ? hope the car gets found, just shows you need security also, i used a disclock on my mini evn when parked under lock and key, every bit helps, i no not everyone wants to fit alarms due top orginalality issues but these are good but not practical when being stored flating battery etc.... sorry to hear about this, looks a really nice example too...............

[Gingerjoe]

really sorry to hear this, like some of the other said, you should give us the area it was spotted & any distinguisting features it might have to catch our eye.

[mab01uk]

With modern cars being almost impossible to steal (without the keys) it makes old cars like the Mini an easy target to hot wire and drive away instead..........so be careful and at least have a hidden battery cut-out switch somewhere or remove the distributor rotor arm (if you have one) when parked!

Keep eye on ebay of course and make that ongoing. I heard about someone who watched ebay like a hawk after their car was stolen and it did eventually end up on there.
