A Ginetta G27 V8

My dad built it from a kit and has competed in the Ginetta Speed Championship with some success for the last 5 years or so.

The car was taken on a Brian James trailer from Solihull in the West Midlands on Friday night.

Spec:
4.5 Cross-drilled Rover V8 with early french blue rocker covers.
2x White 4 into 1 tubular manifolds
4x 13" x 10" Compomotive ML's (Scratched rims due to tight trailer fitment) Fitted with slicks. (from memory 2 x Hoosier, 2 x Avon)
Rover SD1 gearbox with close ratios
4x Weber DCNF 38 carbs, (matching serial numbers)
Bespoke one-piece tubular steel INLET manifold, painted red.

If anyone sees or hears anything which may be relevent please PM me.

There is a cash reward for information leading to retrieval.

I would really appreciate if you could keep your eye out for parts as this car will be difficult to shift in one piece.
Thanks for reading.

Had the Police round today, as the thieves had managed to bump my mums mazda over about 7 foot to get to the trailer (parked there to block access), the Police dusted the car for prints, but sadly it appears gloves were being worn

I can only assume they were after the trailer. It's not as if it's a common car that could easily be sold on.
