MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Stolen Car

Apologies for posting this on an Sprite board but all possible assistance is being sought.

An mga twin cam has been stolen from the owner's house near Guildford, Surrey UK.
It is a RHD car, colour green. It does not have bumpers and the front valance has been smoothed.
Chassis number is YD1/2548 and registration number is YLK 982.
The Twin Cam engine is fitted with Webers and has a fan in front of the radiator.
As you know the Twin Cam is most easily recognised by the unique "knock-on" disc wheels.

Anyone seeing this car should notify the police.

Picture attached.

I'm very sorry to read this, and I hope to goodness they find the car soon. "Twinks" are so rare, I'd hate to see one come to grief.

Thanks for posting,

The stolen MGA Twin Cam was located by the police near Windsor UK.
It has no serious external damage but the engine has some problems, as yet undiagnosed.
Thanks to all those who looked for it.

Glad to hear it was found Mick

I am sorry to hear that there is a problem to deal with. The only silver lining is that mechanical repair is cheaper than bodywork!

Either way I am glad it was found

Great news, Mick... thanks for the update.
