Saw on another forum, thought I'd post it here to get a wider audience etc.
Kenny Allan has had his gorgeous little 1974 Lotus Elan & BJ Race Shuttle trailer stolen from his house in Crossford near Lanark around 11pm on Tuesday 23rd Sept.

The trailer was seen being towed by a dark coloured Vectra estate on the Clyde valley road possibly heading for the M74. The trailer had the number plate G500 BNP on at the time of theft.

Trailer is a standard Brain James Race Shuttle 15ft long. Since its only 3 months old its still (or was!) pristine in white with only the BJ stickers on it apart from a pair of small Ecurie Ecosse stickers on the rear panel. When stolen it carried the number plate for Kenny's motorhome G500BNP.

Stealing it at 11pm was pretty brazen as there are still people walking dogs etc at that time. At 3 or 4am the village would be dead which makes us think that its been lifted at late evening to give time to get it on an early ferry to Ireland or well down the M6 before the garage would have opened normally at 7.30ish.

Contact info etc on this link.

So far plod has not come up with anything. We think its more likely that postings such as this will produce a rersult.

There is a reward for the safe return of the car!

To be fair, the guy couldn't do much else, as he only has a pinky and a thumb left :p

It was either "ride the walrus", or phone me...
 
I know kenny and the car, its a gorgeous, super fast racing elan, he has owned it since it was 4yrs old, some 36yrs, it has been perfected to be stupidly quick. It has been raced all over the country recently as part of a tv series driven by a woman tv presenter.

I know kenny will be totally devistated by this loss, like loosing a child, he is an old man now and i just hope he has the energy to start again if it isnt found.

If you think you see the car, you will know you have found the right one by the smell of it, it is running a stupid concoqtion in oil which has a sweet smell to it. Also runs Yokohama semi slicks, and despite being a race car still has the original interior in it.

I would put money on the theives just wanting the trailer, the car is far too well known nationally and internationally to sell on, a brand new trailer is easy to shift. I know kenny couldnt give a s*** about the trailer, he just wants the car.

The chassis number is 72110573E and the engine number is N28237 btw.
