Dear fellow enthusiasts,

On Saturday 11th January 2014 our EVO was stolen from Newcastle-Under-Lyme in Staffordshire. We had a couple of asian guys turn up to our house in a Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe - dark silver - to test drive an EVO 8 we were selling. During the test drive and swapping seats to change drivers - the guy boosted off with the car! He had an accomplice in the back of the C63 (blacked out windows) to jump in the drivers seat of that car and boost off together. We can't believe it!

Please find below further details on the car:

2003 (53) Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII Ralli Art FQ300, only travelled 60,000 miles, finished in metallic silver with black and blue cloth and suede upholstery, Racaro front bucket seats. As seen in the pictures it also has some (admittedly) fairly tasteless wheels on it! Which hopefully will make it easier to identify, even if they turn up on eBay!





Please if anyone has any information that might lead to anything get in touch at jameswalker5@me.com or reply to this thread.

Many thanks.

From a gutted petrol head.

this is very common and as an Asian my self, feel ashmed but it seem to be an asain gang involved. im sure the merc was involved in another incident where an evo got rob. they bring the merc so it tell the buyer they got money, they go for a test time and then then more then likey there will tell you jump out and pop the bonnet open or the something like that and then they drive off. few think i do as do sell car part time. never bring anyone to my home address. always work address. i have someone with me. if they come in a car i note they reg down, and last of all i make sure someone with me even for a test drive and he stay in the car.. by the way it not just evo but also golf r32 been rob and the person was not even insured. im gona import some tracker very soon. they not inusraed approved but they dont cost a bombs. they work on gps and sim and also will have a cut of point.

Also one more thing make sure how every come to test drive the car, tell them to being a driver licence , . , and I alway take pic of of the licence . This has a lot of info and I had one guy turn up saying he was from Scotland and he said he forgot so I refused to give a test drive and told him il drive and of he want to drive he need to hand the money over
