Mechanic has recently completed restoration project stolen

A mechanic who spent nine years restoring a classic car had his pride and joy stolen just days after he had finished working on it.

Jason Brierley, of Oldham, Greater Manchester, had spent over £10,000 and nearly a decade bringing a 1970s Mk1 Ford Escort back to pristine condition, but woke up one morning to find it gone from his driveway.
