Stolen Minor's
Would everyone owning a Minor PLEASE record their vehicles BODY number.
Also stamp it somewhere only known by its owner, have seen several "rung" Minor's, but this way can identify 100% whether its genuine or not.
Need to be extra vigilant & make it as difficult for thieves as possible!!

Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

Re: Stolen Minor's

Re: Stolen Minor's
I've looked at that plate and there is a Z number on the left (Z + 5 digits) and another, very hard to read, number on the right. It looks like 4 digits - is that correct for the body number?

Re: Stolen Minor's
I've just found it mentioned on facebook. https://www.facebook.com/theo.stickley/ ... 3071897058
RLE 798 E
It looks a sort of Pale Chocolate colour in the photo, but apparently it's Grey.

Re: Stolen Minor's
This is the latest news I have on the stolen Minor.
It was found , taken to the police compound, it was then removed by persons unknown and no one knows where it is at the moment.

Stolen from the Police Impound Yard, you couldn't write that into a TV programme script, they'd say it wasn't realistic.....philthehill wrote: ↑Thu Feb 17, 2022 4:03 pm This is the latest news I have on the stolen Minor.

Re: Stolen Minor's
Did the owner record the body & engine numbers?
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!
Re: Stolen Minor's
I wondered if you were able to track down your lost vehicle?
