• A Mercedes-Benz flagship 1850LF demonstrator worth £73,500 has been stolen from a lorry park in Surrey.
The K-registered Mercedes is one of only three demonstration units owned by the manufacturer and has its most powerful engine rating of 375kW (503hp). It was on loan to A Hird Transport whose own vehicle, a 1644, was off the road for its annual test. The demonstration unit was supplied by Puttocks of Guildford.
The tractive unit was stolen earlier this month from a locked yard at Canel Bridge, Byfleet Road, Addlestone, Surrey. It is thought that thieves broke in between 20:00hrs and 03:00hrs the following day by cutting through the compound gate padlock. They unhitched the tractive unit and left the loaded trailer.
The unit is red with a silver stripe and black chassis, number WDB65559325920755. The engine number is 44299720683066 and the registration is K425 EDT. MercedesBenz has sold five 1850LFs since they became available in May this year.
