Stolen/Missing RX8

Post by Arashijlt »

Hi, first time here and meaning to join ever since I got my rx8 way back when. I went back to out on Saturday, SORNed as I commute everyday now and just couldn’t use it like that. Returned to it taken from the private parking spot I had paid for. No clue from council, person who runs the parking area, police or anything. All I know is that it was there a week or so ago. The cover I bought for it was tattered and thrown in front of the spot and not blown away suggesting it’s fairly recent. This is really just a plea for anyone who finds my RX8. Number plate was RF07EWK, Kuro edition, can’t fully remember the number out of 500. Live around the Portsmouth area. I have looked on eBay, gumtree and autotrader. Also got a clue from this forum (helpful) to try coparts, and theres one up which may be mine but also may not be.

Yeah I looked into the rest of the details and I don’t think it’s right, GN07EVV is exported, also a few of the markings are very similar to ones mine had. I’ve asked for the police to maybe check the VIN since I have the V5c. Thanks for replying though!

What number out of 500 is your Kuro and did it have any custom modifications?

Edit: just seen the OP where you don't know exactly, it should be on the sill plate if you have previously taken any interior pics.

Was gonna say is there no CCTV on the private parking their usually is? or even the surrounding area? most places have to keep footage for X amount of time so you could be in luck.

There’s a Papa Johns but they need police and the police need a 2 hour window, the enforcement have a big sign threatening CCTV but apparently not when I contacted them, trying to establish if there’s a warden of some sort.

Well that sucks, I understand it would take time to sift through the CCTV but that's honestly best bet at finding where it went / who took it. I know this is a long shot but you said it was a paid for council spot? they haven't accidently got it towed thinking it was illegally parked there?

The copart RX8 vin should end in 5973.
Engine should end in 777.
Exported but could of legitimately bought back into the UK.

My Sprint shows up as a exported but never left the UK.


May worth checking the local scrapyards in your area.
I wouldn’t mention at this stage yours was stolen.
Asking for RX8 parts in your Colour (door bonnet boot lid etc)
Then having a look in case it’s yours.
Then inform the Police If it is.
Don’t give any indication that is yours to the scrapyard just walk away saying your going to get cash.😏

Thanks for the heads up! Checked and the VIN doesn’t match as expected, worth a shot. I had called a nearby scrapyard, no luck. The parts idea is a shout. Thanks so much for the input!

It was a paid for private spot unfortunately, council were real quick to deny any involvement. Thanks for the thought though, I’ve asked them to keep an eye out

Bump but also, there is a listing currently on eBay, I suspect it's the Coparts one? I mean it has the same number plate, I have vaguely messaged the seller.

It is possible, but as the car is sorn and not insured they won't gain anything.

I meant someone duplicating the one you bought because they are similar cars. Thanks though!
