Blue mk1 Escort 1300XL CTT894L stolen Monkokehampton, Devon 11/11/15
Blue mk1 Escort 1300XL registration number CTT894L was stolen between midnight & 06:30am on Wednesday 11th November 2015. The car was stolen from outside the owners property whilst the owners & their two small children slept. The car would have been trailered, towed or HIABed away as it wasn’t roadworthy having been off the road awaiting restoration.
The car, being a 1300XL is fitted with rectangular headlights, chrome trim around the windows & rear panel & comes with 6 dial dash as standard. The car is standard aside from a set of Rostyle wheels & a set of Mitsubishi Colt Turbo red & black front seats which have faded in the sun & have the word turbo on them. The car is fitted with chrome mk2 Escort door mirrors & an aerial at the front of the roof.
The car has a 3 spoke Mountney steering wheel, a wooden gearstick with ford logo on top & a small clock put in between the two fan vents on the dash.
Externally the car is now missing the passenger door mirror. The front drivers wing has a slight rust hole. It has a Classic ford sticker in the rear window. The car has a two inch stainless tailpipe attached to ashley exhaust system. Under the wheel arches & underside of car is painted red oxide colour.
The owner has had the car since 1994 & has great sentimental value to him as the car was bought to work on with his Dad who passed away 5 years ago. The owner was shortly to commence restoration on the car.
Anyone with any information can contact the police on 101 quoting crime reference number CR078045/15

Hopefully he's keeping his chin up, it makes it so much worse when theres a sentimental attachment, with any luck he will see it again.

Any CCTV along the road it was spotted being towed on? Shops/houses etc? Might be worth checking before evidence gets erased or overwritten etc if not already done so.

None whatsoever that caught anything. There's a pub in the village that has two camera's on the front... unfortunately the pub has now closed & is currently being converted to flats so unsure whether the cameras are operational. There are very few businesses in the area that appear to have CCTV & the ones that do have been checked & they don't cover the road so nothing was caught.
Frustrating! The owners are out & about today looking in local villages for CCTV cameras in the hope that someone caught something.
Hatherleigh carnival is on today & the owners have put up posters everywhere so hopefully someone will remember seeing something & report it

Good idea the posters, its worth putting pictures and a write up anywhere joe public might see them, any local supermarkets etc, maybe some decent soul will spill the beans on the greedy bastards that nicked it.
Theres an add that pops up regularly on ebay offering a large reward to anyone that can help in the return of a mk1 escort that was stolen which was also of great sentimental value, i hope what comes around goes around!!

It's all over social media, on a number of local news Facebook pages & is in one of the local papers too, just trying to get the rest to feature it & maybe local TV.
There are posters in all the surrounding villages too so plenty of people will see them, just need one person who saw something to recall what type of vehicle was towing it, currently the only description is a 4x4 vehicle.
The one that was posted on eBay (The white one reg XPO11L) was recovered a while back from a property near to where it was taken partly stripped following the execution of a police warrant.

Sounds like they have done pretty much everything, just a waiting game now then,
Apart from being stripped thats good news about the white one and nice that someone was arrested but with any luck he got what was coming to him after the police had finished with him!!!

Hopefully something will come of it.
The majority of the stripped parts were still with the white car
