If any help can be forthcoming from our members all to the good.
PLEASE HELP US FIND "TIM" THE MGB
I'm sure you will all be saddened to hear that (MGOC member) Kay Pinnock's beloved 1971 MGB "Tim", registration number 55 TMM, was stolen on Thursday morning from right outside her house in London.
Although the two men who carried out the theft were captured on CCTV (see photo), and the police now have a warrant to bring the older of the two men in for questioning, no more has since been heard of the car.
The CCTV footage shows the thieves to have been loitering in the area for 10 minutes prior to taking the MGB.
It is now known that they had a yellow car loader waiting down the road for them, and so this crime has all the hallmarks of having been a commissioned theft.
If you are offered or see this car for sale, or if you come into contact with the men in the photos please contact the police and the owner (on 07412 679 331) immediately.
Detailed photos of "Tim" prior to the theft can be viewed on this link https://bit.ly/2SKMH7g
It is likely the number plates would have been changed by now.
Kay and "Tim" the MGB have been together for 45 years, and were regulars at MGOC and MGCC runs, and at Brooklands and Goodwood etc.
So please let's as a community do all we can to bring "Tim" the MGB back home.
Please share this post widely in the classic car community, and please ask all your trade contacts to display the attached poster in motor trade premises. (Download the poster from this link https://bit.ly/2P8x8YQ)
This was a brazen theft on a busy street in broad daylight, right outside the owner's home. It is likely that someone in the classic car community knows the identity and whereabouts of the men in the photos.
Let's get them caught and brought to justice before they do it again to someone else in our community. Thank you in advance for whatever help you can provide.
