Ae112r Corolla Sportivo Stolen

[Terminal]

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd put some feelers out. My 2001 AE112R Sportivo was stolen last night some time after midnight. They broke into the house and took the spare keys and made off with the car and my wallet. I'm in Bathurst but it had 3/4 tank of fuel, so it could be anywhere within 400km. Licence plate NSW - BDE-85U

It's a pretty unique corolla, they're the gold ones with the bodykit: raised wing, front spoiler with driving lights, side skirts. Has Sportivo badge on the rear hatch and Turbo stickers on the qtr panels.

It's got a baby capsule in the back seat and window socks on the rear windows. winnie the pooh window shades on the rear hatch and a shrek "baby on board" sticker. It has black with pink trim 'breast cancer association' car seats. (Yes it was my girlfriends car, but I own it, don't laugh)

Anywho, if anyone sees a car like it give me a yell. there were only 100 of these cars made so it shouldn't be too hard to spot.

Thanks

Leshy

Thanks Guys. It's fully insured so if we can't get it back (or it's wrecked) we'll at least get some money back. It's more a pain in the proverbial at the moment as now we only have 1 car which I take to work every day.

Hope you get it back.

Because its one of only 100 Factory Turbocharged AE112R Corolla Sportivos. Based on the 'Levin' Model all 100 came in Aztec Gold with 15" Corisca Alloys, lowered suspension and a very small turbo, small intercooler added to the factory 1.8 litre 7AFE motor. Produced 115kw from memory and were around $42k brand new back in 2001. (yes less power, slower and more expensive than a WRX) - Yes I'm a sicko for Corollas, was wanting one for a long time but a Skyline was so much cheaper to buy.

Hope you find it and get it back. Its a very rare and nice car.

you could say the same about skylines..

they're worth f**k all these days, but cheap c**ts still steal them..

this car is also rarer than a skyline

Well it made the local paper this morning, so hopefully that will get some people in the community to keep an eye out for it.

Sorry to hear. i think it might be worth while posting it up on www.twincam.org as theres alot of toyota owners on there who might be able to keep an eye out for it

Well some good news has come about. The car has been recovered by the Police, and only had a small amount of damage according to their brief inspection. It was apparently being held in the backyard of a house under a car cover. One of the windows has been smashed and our baby capsule we had in the car is gone. We'll get a full report on it tomorrow and work out repairs and so on.
