theelanman 512 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Yellow over White Elan S4 1968, VUW 896G was stolen from a locked garage in Henley-on-Thames on Friday night 26th August 2016) - clearly a targeted theft, with nothing else removed (except a motorbike). Chassis number 458464 Engine number C17331B. I would of course appreciate any leads, even on the appearance of suspicious parts since it might be broken (I am watching eBay). The engine is running well, albeit a little smokey and having a tendency to oil the plugs. Red cam cover. I can be contacted on 07768 348 342.

The Pits 4,411 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Horrendous, I would be heartbroken. I really hope you can trace the car and the scumbag responsible is caught. Social media can really help with stuff like this so I hope some useful info comes up soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ramjet 1,092 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 I always wonder to myself what these sort of people would think if this happened to their parents? It's self answering though in that they would just go and steal the same thing back for them. Hope it gets returned to you. And the bike.

I trust it was insured Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bibs 11,665 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Just for clarity, I think it's safe to assume the owner is Noel, as per the post, and not Gareth! 1 Quote 88 Esprit NA, 89 Esprit Turbo SE, Evora, Evora S, Evora IPS, Evora S IPS, Evora S IPS SR, Evora 400, Elise S1, Elise S1 111s, Evora GT410 Sport Evora NA For forum issues, please contact the Moderators.

silverfrost 1,390 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Sickens me what scum are about, Like the old pulp fiction saying "never f==k with another mans automobile" The thing is , not like its not a rare looking car but yellow also.! Surely it should be found soon in these tight circles ? Unless it is on the back of a truck heading out into europe Quote A Link to post Share on other sites
