Thanks for the replies guys, really hope with the help of the dub community that i can find this car as i didnt have insurance for the car as i'd just bought it.
I am ringin around scrappys but no luck just yet. Thanks Monzablue will post on south yorkshire dubs and hopefully somebody may have seen the car being towed or something.
I dont think it could have been the previous owner as he is a copper (wouldn't put it past them though

), but I actually bought it off his dad who woz about 60/70 years old and drove a metro.
