That’s something you wouldn’t stumble across every day on your walk home from the pub [emoji33]

 

FFS the media its a BT21, there is a dozens floating the world and being raced 80 to 100k car .

 

It's not as if it was a Mondial

 

Mondials are only rare because the owners are too embarrassed to be seen in them

 

They're the next big thing!

 

I'll make a low-ball offer then...

 

You'll sell it too soon - like the 928

 

Then the price will go up.
Best get him to sell it to me for $40k

 

Highly likely

 

"If" I was smart I'd buy one as well ......... you're the king of flipping

 

Jeez, wrecked clutch is not a nice souvenir of the event...

 

Wrecked clutch ,push start from pit exit,who uses a clutch with a Hewland mark 4/5 gearbox !

 

Someone who has NFI, ie opportunistic joyrider.
A proper thief would have brought a trailer

 

Obviously not an enthusiast then. [emoji41]

 

Having owned a very similar car with a twin cam, I'd suggest the thief has done something to destroy it,I can't think what as those clutches are "dropped off the line at 5,000rpm, they take a lot to destroy.

 

Ideal transport for the FQ landowner with large land holdings in FQ.
