Re: Two Austin Seven vans stolen

I would think that you must be pretty desperate to risk a gaol term by stealing Austin Sevens

Surely a much higher value vehicle would be a preferable target

Re: Two Austin Seven vans stolen

With the prices cars and parts fetch in the UK compared with here, I would be sorely tempted.
The sad thing is there are always opportunists who will destroy just for the alloy scrap.

Re: Two Austin Seven vans stolen

Thanks Mike for bringing it to our attention.

There wasn't many late vans that servived, are these replicas.

We have wolaton park Sunday, let's see what gets offered.

As for scrapping in the UK. The toe rags take up plenty of drain covers for wheighing in, And will have your fillings if you are not looking. So scrapping a couple of 7s wouldn't even touch there conscience.

I'm sure if they now what the parts are worth, they will be stripped very quickly.

However the outlet for selling the parts on, is not what it was. There are far less TRADERS to buy nowadays. Or you have ebay.

A reg number or body's, would be very obvious on eBay.

Re: Two Austin Seven vans stolen

I'm keeping an open mind on this one.

I think theres more going on than has been let on.

Note the police have only suggested an alledged theft.
