I have been advised that RHD 6.3 #1268 has been stolen from a shed in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia recently. The car is 906 blue with navy interior. The thieves moved 3 other vehicles to get to the car, so it was targeted. In addition to the car details, the motor, gearbox and diff numbers have been advised to the Victorian Police. The car had a set of 16" Penta wheels. If anyone knows anything about the theft or becomes aware of attempts to sell the car or 6.3 parts which might be from the car, they can either notify the Melbourne police or contact me so I can pass the information on.

Something doesn't sound right here.  Why would you go to the trouble of stealing that?  Its value doesn't make sense...  It's not like you can easily re-sell it.  And parts, well, there are enough wrecks around.  Hmmmmm.

None the less, I hope it's found.
