. I doubt breakers like the above would have much for an e30, they sell parts for much newer models, they would pay sod all buying in e30 parts to sell on for not much more. The parts from your car would probrably be sold private or some where like e-bay.

Unfortunately, Pete will be correct.

Anyone stealing an Specced up E30 will either burn it out at the end of the night or strip it for parts. It wasnt found burnt out so its most likely stripped. Hopefully we're wrong but its doubtful.

Its not all that common, but anyone who had thie E30 stolen, start a thread and it will get put onto the homepage aslong as some details are passed on. As for its own section, a mod would have to sort that.

Hi Mate - please note that we have not pointed the finger. As you have stated i chose to do the work with you after much research & let me take the opportunity to say to all Zoners that if you are looking for quality work & service you can NOT go wrong with JUST E30z & my next one will definately be going back to them.. Thanks for the support Shaz

Sorry havent been able to get online for a while now.. but as an update to any and all concerned- no recovery of this vehicle as yet.. still waiting & still hoping - reward still open as well.

Sat Jan 11, 2014 4:46 am

Anyone seen this knocking about?
Thought i would resurrect this thread!!

Sat Jan 11, 2014 7:21 am

It's been over a year and you have had no luck? Sorry to hear that. From the picture on the 1st page it was a nice looking car.

I hope at the time you looked through eBay to see if there was anything recognisable selling that was on your car.

Sat Jan 11, 2014 7:40 am

I have been looking every week (almost) to see if i recognise the car or any parts!
unfortunately to the best of my knowledge nothing has surfaced.
I am still holding hope that whoever took it has not scrapped it for parts. In my opinion, the car was too clean to do so.
Lets see if anything comes up this year.

I hope you do find it and the scum get what they deserve.

Always a problem when you have a good example, to keep one as a daily driver parked on road its got to be a standard shitty looking turd with no centre caps.

Unfortunately, that means nothing to anyone who would nick a car, even more so if it's to break for parts

Its sad to say but, chances are by now it's either been scrapped or is wearing different VIN and reg plates

Sat Jan 11, 2014 9:21 am

Sorry to hear about this. You must be absolutely heart broken

according to dvla its not taxed so its gotta be stored somewhere or worse its been scraped

What's the verdict, been one year now. Think previous owner wanted the Bbs caps back??

Sat Jan 11, 2014 10:11 am

The though of this car drives me mental.
The main thing that i will advise all fellow zoners to do is get an imobilizer and tracking fitted to their vehicles.
As you may expect, when it comes to stolen cars, the police are about as helpful as a chocolate tea pot

There is an added benefit of being in this community in that we are always looking at cars or parts! Somehow we ought to figure out how to mark individual tell tale parts on our cars so that they can be identified if they ever hit the market again

Accordding to the DVLA that number plate is not taxed!!!

This sport could be on the road with different plates on it.

Well, unless the new owner has managed to re-register a reported stolen car in their name, and insure a reported stolen car in their name, they're not going to be able to tax it are they?

It was probably stripped for bits and chopped up within a week.

If the shell was really tidy its probably wearing the id of a rotten shitter that's now been chopped up and disposed of.
