This afternoon  (3rd February 2014) I finished school to find that my tahiti blue w-reg mini cooper sports had been stolen.  I parked it on Common Lane, Wilmington, Dartford. It was stolen between 08:30 and 13:00, possibly lifted onto a lorry using a crane.

It had just had the floor pans replaced and hence had no interior carpets or sound deadening in it although it does have two basic floor mats

The car had the following features;

 

Full leather silver and black seats

107,000 miles on the clock

Silver roof 

Chrome mirrors

Silver john cooper bonnet stripes

K&N air filter 

Brushed aluminium dashboard with battery voltage, oil pressure and oil temp gauges

RC40 centre exit exhaust (which was blowing very badly and will result in the car being very loud)

A small crack in the windscreen in front of the driver

Chip in the passenger door

Polish around the GB and sports badges

Scuff to the nearside rear wheel arch

Recently rebuilt engine and gearbox painted in british racing green and black bracketry (looks brand new)

 

 

If anyone sees this car anywhere could you please contact me asap. Also if you get offered this car or any parts that may have come from my car then could you contact me

 

Obviously I am truly devastated and would appreciate any advice as to what else I should do 

 

Thanks in advance

I've done a big Facebook share of this thread.  That's an excellent description with photos too.

 

I've have one comment on Facebook, which I said I'd pass on - 'Ask them if they have checked with the local council, as Dartford area are well known for uplifting cars they claim are illegally parked.'

 

I really hope you get it back.

Have you checked that the DVLA have not picked it up?

 

You need to call them and check.

 

From their website https://www.gov.uk/g...ehicle-released

"You should contact your local police station by calling 101 and asking for your local police, or call NSL to find out where it’s been taken.

NSL   0843 224 1999"

Try speaking to the local bus operators that run buses along there. They may have CCTV or a driver might remember your car. It may stand out in their memory being a classic.
