sutty2006 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I genuinely have no idea why anyone would steal such a car that sticks out a mile like that does. I can think of a reason, that involves other mondeos and a lot of crashing but I wouldn’t want to offend that “circle”.

eddyramrod Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Partly stripped out, caged... hmmm, it's not like anyone would be spared a day of preparation work, is it? And the cost of a new cage...

egg Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 What I would say is both recent stolen MK1's have been non sunroof base models with that extra 'structural rigidity' that may be useful if crashing into another car at 20 mph 🙄 steveo3002 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sierraman Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Saloons are better for bangering, especially if you can find a 1.6. I don’t think the sunroof is an issue as you’d plate that anyway. Wouldn’t have thought roll cage would be a distinct advantage as anyone racing them regularly would have the floor plate and a H frame fitted anyway.

The police rang months later to say it was found and I could collect it from a compound. I asked if it was drivable and they said yes. Got a lift there first thing next morning to find it had no wheels and seats , pretty high up on the list of features to make a care drivable 🤣 warch and bigfella2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
