That's harsh. Hope it turns up. I have sent your mail onwards to the PSOOC (Peugeot Sports Owners Club) as they will happily look out for it.

Good luck!

The car has been found!! Yesterday, there was an item about this car on national television and this morning a 13-year old boy spotted the car in his street. He immediately called the police and the car has been returned to its owners. So all ends well...
