13 is not his lucky number! 30 in the world its not going to be easy to take it to a track day without some one recognising it. In this country anyway.

thieving scum

On the up side, the rarity of the car makes it easily identifiable and difficult for anyone to pass off as genuine.

With that few about it's got to be to order for abroad as you couldn't shift it in the uk. Either that or if stripped only certain bolt on bits could be flogged on, the rest is too individual/specific.
Almost makes you think why did they bother?

ps just read the link on the other thread - prob just nicked for the brian james trailer and car will be dumped?

That's what I thought when I first read it. I'm into hot air ballooning and a few trailers went missing this summer. A mate had his taken from his drive and 3 weeks later the police found his balloon, burners, basket and tanks in a lay-by. No sign of his expensive covered trailer though.

Good news for a change. This one has been found, more details on WSCC

Excellent news, i bet the guy is over the moon to get it back.

I think since we all knew the car would be really hard to pass on it was the cash for the trailer they wanted,many years back i had a couple or power boats with some mates and we had my postcode welded on the inside of the A frame. I am sure this wouldnt stop anyone stealing the trailer but could make it identifiable.
