I’m aged 53 now and I still feel like stealing one from the Ford classic meetings 😂😂 now u need a laptop these days to pinch a car yuk yuk 😂😂
If you watch the newer Crimewatch episodes the quality is awful, The acting 🎭 was spot on and they most of the times used the same cars that were involved in the raids and murders, 1996 onwards you start to see the cracks.police was dumping any crime they couldn’t solve which was local shop robberies or drunks at a pub, viewing figures dropped which is what happens when you mess with stuff and drop budget
I bought a Sierra RS COSWORTH IN THE EARLY 1990s for £5000 believe it or not it belonged to a minister of the Church of Scotland 🏴 he had owned it from New it had only done 43 thousand miles it was dark grey metallic with black leather at the time insurance companies would not insure young drivers I was in my forties at the time so my insurance company had no problems with it fantastic car I ran it for about 2 years and sold it with the prices they go for now I wish I had put it in my garage and just left it there
I was personally involved in this case. As I was arrested for this. A sawn off was found in the drain outside my flat, I was quite a heavy villain back then, I was awoken with a handfull of assault rifles pointing in my direction a couple of days after the robbery. I was 19, the interrogation I was given was levels above anything I've ever heard of. About 12 different ppl at different times. They thought and prob still think I was involved. I was under serious observation for a long time after this. Even when on holiday in Spain they moved next door to me. I don't think it's ever been solved.
If it wasnt made in the very late 80s or early to mid 90s, it aint worth driving. My 1993 Honda Prelude 2.2Vtec was a dream, my 1992 RS Turbo Fiesta was non stop fun! And my 1992 Cavalier GSI 2000 was .... Well she was 120mph in 3rd gear sort of love. Callimg all car manafacturers! Do yourself a favour, style them as they used to be and make them as they used to be! You will profit massivley!
We had Unigate milk delivered when I was a kid There was a Unigate dairy about a mile from my house It got knocked down in the early -mid 80,s and houses built on it .
Mad to think they had only driven her 17 mile's since stolen then dumped it down a road, if only they knew how much there worth now. No chance in 2023 a cossie would be used in a robbery, all locked away and hidden. 👍
Not sure if it’s just me but when they show u the back of the cars number plate it looks like the K and B as been cut out an stuck over the original letters
That Cosworth’s handling looked like a modern performance car, no one would have known what a treat this footage would be 20 years later.

Everyone wants to rob you on a computer
Superb 😂👍👍👍👍
If you watch the newer Crimewatch episodes the quality is awful, The acting 🎭 was spot on and they most of the times used the same cars that were involved in the raids and murders, 1996 onwards you start to see the cracks.police was dumping any crime they couldn’t solve which was local shop robberies or drunks at a pub, viewing figures dropped which is what happens when you mess with stuff and drop budget
Can’t beat the cosworth
I bought a Sierra RS COSWORTH IN THE EARLY 1990s for £5000 believe it or not it belonged to a minister of the Church of Scotland 🏴 he had owned it from New it had only done 43 thousand miles it was dark grey metallic with black leather at the time insurance companies would not insure young drivers I was in my forties at the time so my insurance company had no problems with it fantastic car I ran it for about 2 years and sold it with the prices they go for now I wish I had put it in my garage and just left it there
Servant's of god need fast cars to spread the word,wow thought they would have Honda,
Can’t believe I got away with that one ! Miss that car ….
😂😂😂
So it wasnt a mask then 😅
I was personally involved in this case. As I was arrested for this. A sawn off was found in the drain outside my flat, I was quite a heavy villain back then, I was awoken with a handfull of assault rifles pointing in my direction a couple of days after the robbery. I was 19, the interrogation I was given was levels above anything I've ever heard of. About 12 different ppl at different times. They thought and prob still think I was involved. I was under serious observation for a long time after this. Even when on holiday in Spain they moved next door to me. I don't think it's ever been solved.
Proper behaviour,the sierra 4x4 could just about hold firmer on a roundabout. What times we had😂
mondeo st220 classic car had one bk in 2005
If it wasnt made in the very late 80s or early to mid 90s, it aint worth driving. My 1993 Honda Prelude 2.2Vtec was a dream, my 1992 RS Turbo Fiesta was non stop fun! And my 1992 Cavalier GSI 2000 was .... Well she was 120mph in 3rd gear sort of love. Callimg all car manafacturers! Do yourself a favour, style them as they used to be and make them as they used to be! You will profit massivley!
They were very lucky not to have been nicked and you can bet on it They would have been given big time for it 😊😊😊
Nice vid fella
Did they catch them in the end?
Couldn’t find anything about the case being solved, it was mentioned as still unsolved 3 years after in an article about depot closing down
We had Unigate milk delivered when I was a kid
There was a Unigate dairy about a mile from my house
It got knocked down in the early -mid 80,s and houses built on it .
All well and good but did his horse win
Anyone know what the mask is the robber is wearing in the cosworth?
0:56 old rover v8 and a tidy xr3i. Good times. Who knew then that cars would end up as boring as they are now
Mad to think they had only driven her 17 mile's since stolen then dumped it down a road, if only they knew how much there worth now. No chance in 2023 a cossie would be used in a robbery, all locked away and hidden. 👍
There are much better cars to use for robberies nowadays.
Cosworth
Ford sierra sapphire cosworth is the best high performance model that why all the thieves like to stole it,thieves like ford cars in u.k
The cossie and the lotus Carlton two legends of the 90s lotus carlton stolen in birmingham 1993 plate 40RA.
40RA out ran the police and they had the chopper on it lol
How weird, I was only taking to a mate about this a few days ago. Nobody ever convicted!
I love a Cossy!!!
Did they ever catch them?
Wow they were different times alright
Safe to say they got away with it !
Was the Beatles
Not sure if it’s just me but when they show u the back of the cars number plate it looks like the K and B as been cut out an stuck over the original letters
The best armed robbers back in the day were the scousers
Wonder if it was ever solved.
still unsolved
Proper cops .
Cops these days should look at this and learn
