A valuable rally car, stolen from a locked garage, has been found stripped to its shell.
The lime green Ford Escort RS with contrasting wheel hubs and sponsors’ logos was stolen from a locked garage in Drefach Felindre near Llandysul overnight between Friday October 7 and Saturday, October 8.
The car was originally made late 70s and is worth £60,000.
There are reports of noises around the locked garage where it was kept between 3.30am and 4.45am on Saturday morning.
It was found at 10.45am on Sunday and is reported to have been dumped by a vehicle without a trailer, something like a tipper or a bever tail van.
