Mel B Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Apologies for posting this on here but as some members are into microcars they may become aware of this car being offered around and it may help this chap get his car back. Please see the info on our club page regarding this: http://www.micromaniacsclub.co.uk/pages/News%20&%20Info.html Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libby Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 We go around sites in the south plus I will send the details to a couple of Newsletters, it should be easy to spot being unusual. Any theft is worth posting anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Thanks Libby. For those of you who haven't got a clue what sort of microcar this is - it's a Messerschmitt KR200, 3 wheeler, below is the same model in silver whereas the one that has been stolen is yellow and red: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike 202 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Sorry to hear about the loss. Just thought, when I had a 1950's motorcycle stolen from my parents garage, I put an advert in several papers after a suitable time and the idiots replied and offered it to me. I checked it out and then I told the police who kindly went round and collected it for me. They were not arrested because they 'innocently bought it from some bloke in a pub', by the way I still have the bike now. Also worth looking at E-bay and local papers and Freeadds papers in the for sale columns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapido-lass Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 is nothing sacred any more? Lets hope the rightful owner gets his car back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry1956 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Theres an old boy with a yellow and red one just down the lane from me in exmouth, Its not the same car hes had it a few years, but after seeing me looking a few times at the car, we started talking and he stated that the get taken and end up in germany. I would keep a look out on ebay germany, you never know. I had a car trailer nicked a few years ago, and placed the pictures of it for sale on e-bay, with my tel number and did get someone ring up about seeing the trailer etc. I took their details and the police picked up the trailer. worth a try. michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archiesgrandad Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hi Mel B Sincere condolences, it might be easier to bare if it was one of the Brit ones. Don't know if it would help, but there's a story in the papers today about a bloke who has a slightly damaged Hurricane, so if he can get that repaired, and get him to join up with any Spitfire owners out there we might be able to relive our glory days,' cos they were pretty good at locating Messchersmits when I was young.

Mel B Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Judge ... these cars become part of the family, they are loved and cherished by their owners, often being kept for many, many years, and are getting rarer, not to mention are quite valuable too! This is one that sold on ebay recently ..... Ebay We used to have a Bond Mk G Microcar, we had it for 15 years and loved it and parting with it was quite upsetting, with all the fun you have out and about with them, you do get attached to them. Its not like owning a 'normal' car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 I don't think you need to worry Judge about anyone nicking your motorhome ... not with all that plush red velvet etc lining the inside never mind the leather and ironmongery ...... :D :$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
