Stolen Mini On The Rainford Bypass Today About 5ish Oclock

that does look like his, and they could have out new wheels and stripes on it.
also it is only a 1 day auction and the way they want to get rid of it quick.

It does look very suspicious that it is in the same neck of the woods on a 24 hour auction with no numberplates and a vagueish description. It must have had quite a bit of work done overnight though, and the colour looks slightly different. I hope it is the one though.

thanks mate

just an idea did your mini have an alloy hand brake gripper?? and do you recognise that gear gaiter as things like this distinguish a mini from one to another but i would check

yes mine didnt have that on.... just looked again and it has been took off ebay ! something really strange about that mini dont think its mine though could be somebody else's though !

eny news on the mini?

ive looked at it on ebay and i havnt seen it round the southport, burscough, tarleton village area.

Im a mini specialist on the Wirral. Havent seen anything but will keep an eye out ..... best of luck.

Have you checked to see if there is any CCTV coverage in the areas surrounding where the car was stolen from, garages, houses, link roads and the like.

Any luck getting it back?

was on my way into work this morning and i ran out of fuel so i pulled up on the rainford bypass just before the lights on the eastlancs and when i came back to put petrol in it my mini was gone i cannot even describe how i feel any info please let me know or email me

I know how you feel mate. Had mine stolen last friday from the town centre. Police reckon someone is targeting minis in the local area. I'll keep an eye out just in case.

Heres mine that was taken

It was a beautiful example of a 1996 (P reg) Mini Cooper in Night Fire Red with a white roof. The thing that make it really stand out is the Chrome Wheel Arches.

any news on this yet ? I've only ever noticed one white mini round here (up holland / orrel / skelmersdale) and it's definatley not been nicked or for sale as I keep seeing it in the gym car park but will keep an eye out.
