This red Ford Mustang could have been stolen up to 20 years ago
The owner of the classic Mustang passed away in August this year and relatives discovered the car was missing when they checked the garage on 15th October.
The last definitive sighting of the car, reg VTM 648S, in the garage was in 1995. However, police are hopeful that someone will recall seeing the car being removed from the garage.
Detective Constable Geoff Smith from Hertfordshire Constabulary said: "The owner of the vehicle was hugely proud of the car and it has a large amount of sentimentally attached to it.
"Obviously the car is very distinctive and, despite the length of time in which it could have been stolen during, I believe anyone who witnessed the car being removed from the garage would remember seeing it.
"I would like to speak with anyone with information about this theft as soon as possible. Equally, I would like to hear from anyone who has seen the car or been offered it for sale."
Anyone with any information about the theft should contact the police on 101, quoting crime reference B1/15/3284.
